Norway will host the alpine skiing world championships for the first time in 2029 in Narvik.
The ruling body FIS chose Narvik over Andorra's Soldeu and Italian bidder Val Gardena at its congress in Rejkyavik.
Val Gardena was then named host of the 2031 edition by winning a second vote against Soldeu.
Norway has a long history of staging Nordic skiing world championships but has never staged the alpine event before.
Narvik is located more than 300 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle and has a population of around 22,000. It is yet to host alpine World Cup races but staged the 2020 junior world championships.
"This is a monumental day for Norwegian skiing," Norwegian ski federation president Tove Moe Dyrhaug said.
"The FIS World Championships is one of the world’s largest sporting events, viewed by millions globally. Norway has long been recognized as a top alpine nation, and now we can finally host the Alpine World Championships at home."
The 2025 worlds are in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria, and the 2027 edition at the Swiss venue of Crans Montana.
The FIS also awarded the 2029 snowboard, freestyle and freeski worlds to China's Zhangjiakou where the events of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing took place. Slovenia's Planica will host the 2029 ski flying world championships.
Finland's Lahti was the only bidder for the 2029 Nordic worlds but was not cofirmed yet and given 30 days by FIS to meet various criteria.
