International Lauberhorn Races 2027 - World Cup weekend in Wengen
97th International Lauberhorn Ski Races
From 15 to 17 January 2027, the 97th International Lauberhorn Races bring the Ski World Cup back to Wengen for the biggest weekend of the winter. The course starts high on the Lauberhorn, the mountain that gives Hotel Victoria Lauberhorn its name, and finishes in Innerwengen a short walk from the village.
The event
The Lauberhorn downhill is the longest on the World Cup circuit, around 4.5 kilometres from the start below the Lauberhorn summit down to the finish at Innerwengen. The weekend follows the classic order: the Super-G on Friday 15 January, the Lauberhorn downhill on Saturday 16 January, and the slalom on Sunday 17 January with runs at 10:00 and 13:00. Official training runs open the week from Tuesday 12 January, and the Patrouille Suisse flies a display over the finish area during the racing days.
Tens of thousands of spectators travel in for the weekend, and Saturday's downhill is the marquee day. Tickets for the 2027 edition go on sale on 2 November 2026, booked online through lauberhorn.ch.
Where to watch from Hotel Victoria Lauberhorn
Wengen is car-free, so the whole event is reached on foot or by mountain railway. The finish area at Innerwengen is a short walk from the hotel, close enough to hear the crowd from your room on race day. For the start and the upper sections, the Wengernalpbahn runs up to Wengernalp and Kleine Scheidegg, where you can watch the racers come over the Hundschopf and through the Kernen-S. The village fills with food stands, outdoor bars and a ski party after each award ceremony.
