Lauberhornrennen (Lauberhorn Ski Race) is one of the world’s most prestigious Alpine skiing events, held each January in the mountain resort of Wengen, Switzerland. First run in 1930, it is the oldest World Cup downhill race and features the longest course on the circuit—spanning over 4.4 kilometers of steep, twisting terrain beneath the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. Thousands of spectators gather along the slopes and in Wengen’s car-free village to cheer on the world’s best skiers. Known for its mix of thrill, tradition, and spectacular scenery, the Lauberhorn Ski Race is a highlight of both the Swiss winter season and the international ski calendar.
