The women's giant slalom in the 2026 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of ten events, including the final.[1] According to the initial schedule released on 12 June 2025, the season is scheduled to begin with the traditional opener: a giant slalom on the Rettenbach ski course, located on the Rettenbach glacier in Sölden, Austria, on 25 October 2025.[2] The next three giant slaloms will take place in North America in late November and early December, including the first World Cup visit to Copper Mountain (Colorado) for the women since 1999, after which the remainder of the races will be held in Europe, including a return to the slopes of Czechia's Špindlerův Mlýn on 24 January 2026 for the first time in three years.[2]
The season will be interrupted for the quadrennial 2026 Winter Olympics in three regions in Italy -- Milan, the Stelvio Pass, and Cortina d'Ampezzo—during 6–22 February 2026.[3] Except for slalom, the Alpine skiing events for women are scheduled to take place on the classic Olimpia delle Tofane course at Cortina d'Ampezzo.[4] The championship in women's giant slalom is scheduled to be held on Sunday, 15 February.
