Italy’s Melania Corradini and Germany’s Andrea Rothfuss are currently the top two skiers in the women’s standing overall rankings but will not compete in Obersaxen.

Croatia’s 17-year-old Eva Goluža and guide Ana Zigman will be her toughest opponents.

Austria's Gernot Morgenfurt and guide Christoph Peter Gmeiner will go for the title in the men’s equivalent against Croatian Pyeongchang 2018 Paralympian Damir Mizdrak, guided by Luka Debeljak.

After failing to reach the top of the podium at Pyeongchang 2018, Loesch is hoping to close her season with victory in the women’s sitting at the Europa Cup.

The Austrian won super-G silver and giant slalom bronze at Pyeongchang 2018. 

Switzerland’s Christoph Kunz is top of the standings in the men’s sitting.

He will need to perform at his best if he wants to win the Europa Cup title as Norway's Pedersen, winner of his first Paralympic title at Pyeongchang 2018 and has also won the World Cup overall title, will also compete in Obersaxen.
