Since 1930, the Lauberhorn Race in January has been a fixed part of the skiing calendar. The downhill is not only the longest but also the fastest in the world: Against a paradisiacal mountain backdrop, the athletes race towards the finish at speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. An unforgettable public festival for young and old alike!

The largest amateur race in the global skiing sport is held in Wengen. It was initiated by ski enthusiasts from Britain in 1928. Since then, hundreds of snow enthusiasts participate in the (friendly) competition year after year. The course covers nearly fifteen highly varied (including flat and even ascending) kilometers of slopes from Schilthorn to Lauterbrunnen.
