The Carrot Boys go to Jannik Sinner’s house
After wild car trips and countless late-night wake-up calls to support their idol Jannik Sinner, the Carota Boys – on the occasion of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 – are coming to South Tyrol for the first time. This time the ’goal è discover the places that made their champion grow up and follow the tournament live in the 3 Peaks/3 Zinnen Dolomites area, to be precise in Sesto, Jannik’s hometown.
An area, among the mostú spectacular in the Alps, which in winter offers well-prepared slopes and activities of all kinds for winter sports enthusiasts and, in summer, a’wide choice of proposals in the surrounding nature and cultural such as the Gustav Mahler Music Weeks, the Grand Hotel cultural center and numerous museums. This wonderful area, today, é made even more unique and special, precisely because it is the "home" of the number one Italian tennis player.
The itinerary of the Carota Boys in the footsteps of Jannik Sinner between skiing and special encounters
And so, what better place, if not this, for the Carota Boys to test themselves and practice some skiing in the heart of the Dolomites – UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The 3 Cime Dolomiti ski area boasts over 110km of perfectly groomed slopes, spectacular views and modern lifts. In addition, thanks to its geographical location, the area offers optimal conditions for skiing until the end of the winter season. An area that Jannik has traveled the length and breadth of numerous times to relax and regenerate among its mountains.
From Sesto, the village of the Three Peaks, the Carota Boys then continue the itinerary with a walk in the enchanting Fiscalina Valley, only 4.5km long and yet of unsurpassed beauty. This valley starts in Moso, runs through the 3 Cime di Lavaredo Nature Park to the Fondovalle Refuge where Jannik’s parents worked for several years. Here the cuisine è cared for with much love and passion and always follows the criteria of regionalità, sustainabilityà and tradition.
And after sports and pleasant tasty stops, for the Piedmontese boys è time for special meetings with people who have followed Jannik since childhood. People who have passed on to the champion those values that today he communicates in each of his challenges, the’enthusiasm and passion for what he loves to do, with respect for the’other.
Andreas Schönegger, his first tennis instructor, will come alongside the Carrot Boys just as he did with Jannik when he began taking his first steps on clay; while Elisabeth "Lee" Egarter, the ski teacher who tutored him until he was 12 years old − a sport that saw him twice win the title of vice-champion of Italy − will tell them anecdotes and curiosities about the champion as a child.
