6 good reasons why you should definitely not miss the Ski World Cup in Adelboden

08/01/2019 written by Ticketcorner
It is considered the toughest and most difficult giant slalom of the season: the Ski World Cup in Adelboden! The race takes place on January 12 and 13 on the legendary Chuenisbärgli and for many people is as much a part of the start of the year as fireworks and pewter casting. If you've only ever watched the spectacle on TV, here are six reasons why the race is also a mega experience live on site.

Ski stars up close

For real insiders, the World Cup starts on Friday: visitors have the opportunity to meet ski stars such as Yule, Hirscher and Meillard in the "pit lane" in the World Cup village between 15:00 and 16:30 and even get an autograph.

The food

Sure, the fondue in the fondue tent tastes really delicious, but professionals know: The real highlight is the World Cup skewer, which you can get fresh from the grill in the "Chäla", on the food street or in the marquee.

The perfect souvenir

So that you don't have to go home empty-handed, you can have a Skicard personalized with a photo at the Ticketcorner stand on site and turn it into a unique souvenir!

With the Skicard, you can buy ski tickets online or with your smartphone and hit the slopes without having to queue. Find out more.

The mood

The race is best followed in the finish arena in the so-called "Hexenkessel", where fans and spectators gather to cheer on their favorites. After the race, it's off to the Chuenis tent, where DJs keep the party going late into the night. Which brings us directly to the next point...

Après-ski

When the lights go out on the Chuenisbärgli, it's all the more exciting in the village: whether in the Berna Bar, the Time Out Pub or in the marquees on the village street - the party goes on until the early hours!

Off to the slopes

Is the hustle and bustle surrounding the race too much for you? Then let me tell you one thing: While everyone else is watching the World Cup, you can enjoy 210 km of snow-covered slopes (almost) to yourself! You can find the right ski ticket here:
