Lauberhorn ski races


The mountain is best known for the Lauberhorn World Cup alpine ski races, held annually in mid-January above Wengen. The downhill course is currently (as of 2016) the longest in the world; its length of 4.48 km (2.78 mi) results in run times of two and a half minutes.

The Lauberhorn ski races (downhill, slalom, and combined) are among the highest-attended winter sports events in the world, attracting around 30,000 spectators each year.

Races are held on two famous courses "Lauberhorn" (downhill) and "Männlichen" (slalom).

Das Lauberhorn ist ein 2472 m ü. M. hoher Berg in den Berner Voralpen oberhalb der Kleinen Scheidegg. Berühmtheit hat der nicht besonders prominente Gipfel erlangt durch die alljährliche Lauberhornabfahrt, die etwas unterhalb des Gipfels gestartet wird. Der Name geht vermutlich auf eine alte Form für das Wort Lawine zurück.[2]
