Adelboden's World Cup Hill "Chuenisbärgli" was endorsed again by the FIS representatives in 2010 and this homologation remains valid until 2020. In addition to the World Cup slopes, there are several other course options available for the European Cup and FIS men and women’s races. The classical Adelboden Giant Slalom is regarded as the most difficult one in the World Cup circuit. As well as holding the World Cup races Adelboden is also the venue where young competitors regularly get the opportunity to improve their skills in the European Cup, FIS and youth races. Wengen and Kitzbühel(no Giant Slalom races) are the only other venues which have been part of the World Cup circuit since its foundation in 1967.
