Start lists/Rankings

PREVIOUS WINNERS

Course

Two races, one myth. The Chuenisbärgli captivates athletes and ski fans alike.

The races at Chuenisbärgli are considered classics in the Ski World Cup as Adelboden is one of only three places (Adelboden, Wengen, Kitzbühel) that have hosted ski races every year since the FIS World Cup was founded in 1967.

The Giant Slalom on the Adelboden World Cup slope is rightly considered the most difficult in the world.

Facts

  • The World Cup mountain was newly approved by the FIS in 2020. The approval is valid until 2030 and World Cup, European Cup and FIS races for men and women may be held.
  • "Chuenis", as the locals affectionately call it, is probably the short name for Chuenrad or Konrad, but it is unclear which "Chueni" or Konrad gave the Chuenisbärgli its name. The somewhat more unusual spelling of Kuonisbärgli also points to the origin of the name.
  • The World Cup course can be explored not only in winter. In the summer months, a hiking trail known as the World Cup Trail leads from the finish area up to the start house. Along the trail, young and old can learn interesting facts about the biggest sports event in the region.
