The legendary AUDI FIS Ski World Cup course is a special attraction in summer as well. The interactive posts on the varied mountain trails between “Boden” and “Chuenisbärgli” present a lot of background knowledge about ski-racing, preparation and history. One can even practice their racing skills. Mastering the steep “Kanonenrohr” on the shaking board can be a good test for your “ski” legs and watching as Daron Rahlves’ bombs out requires a strong stomach to travel the same path.
