Lauberhorn is the longest and oldest active World Cup downhill ski course in the world, which is located and named after the same name mountain in Wengen, Switzerland, debuted in 1930. As Switzerland is and always was military neutral, downhill competitions were held even during World War II.

It is part of the Lauberhornrennen, the oldest active alpine ski competition in the world and the course is very famous after extraordinary scenery with Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau mountains in Bernese Alps.

Sections

[edit]

Start house

[edit]

2,315 m a.s.l. – Unlike most World Cup start temporary only houses, here they still use a permanent classic wooden start house with spectacular view at Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau triple mountain peaks.

Starthang and Obere Kurve

[edit]

2,315 m a.s.l. – Upper flat section consists of sliding parts and long curves. The supposedly simple start with a low gradient and hardly any turning requires excellent acceleration and gliding skills. It turns into a long right-hand bend that leads over a narrow passage between rocks and safety nets to the Russisprung.

Russisprung

[edit]

2,180 m a.s.l. – The Russi jump (Russisprung) was built in testing purposes by ex-ski racer and piste builder Bernhard Russi in 1988 and named after him. At the instigation of race director Fredy Fuchs, the jump was integrated into the race track. The jump leads into flat terrain and is ideally around 40 to 50 meters long. The Russisprung leads past a reservoir that was created to feed the snowmaking systems.

Traversenschuss

[edit]

2,120 m a.s.l. – Another gliding part, the "traverse shot" interspersed with slight curves and two terrain waves. It goes from 100 to over 130 km/h.

Traverse

[edit]

2,010 m a.s.l. – A sharp left turn forms the transition to the traverse, in which the terrain slopes away to the right. Only here, after 40 seconds of driving, is the first intermediate time measured. The start of the combination downhill run is in this region.

Panoramakurve

[edit]

2,000 m a.s.l. – Due to the ever faster material, adjustments have been necessary again and again throughout the history of the slope. In order to reduce the speed, the so-called panoramic curve was created in order to reduce the speed of the drivers before the tricky passage at Hundschopf. The long right-hand bend gets its name from the view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks towering monumentally above the slope.

Hundschopf

[edit]

1,975 m a.s.l. – After a tight S-curve to reduce the speed, comes the most famous part of the descent, the spectacular jump over the Hundschopf. The edge lies in a narrow place between two rocks, where it drops 15 meters. The short fall space and the slope that immediately turns to the left make the area even more difficult. «Everything that is required of a downhill skier comes into play in the tightest of spaces. The curves in front of it are narrower than usual, there are a maximum of 5 meters between the rocks on the left and the safety net on the right, the edge of the jump can only be guessed at, the choice of line is determined by the end of the net and the driver's imagination. And then the bottomless!» (Bernhard Russi)

Minsch-Kante

[edit]

1,915 m a.s.l. – Immediately after the left-hand bend comes the Minsch edge, where Josef Minsch had a serious fall in 1965. It is a smaller jump, but its difficulty lies in the fact that it is approached in a left-hand movement and left in a right-hand movement - the rider has to change the inner ski on the edge of the jump, so to speak. Russi describes the spot as a «brilliant combination of jump, curve and choice of line!»

Canadian Corner

[edit]

1,890 m a.s.l. – The sharply turning curve at the left-sloping transition into the Alpweg is named after the Crazy Canucks, a place where Dave Irwin and Ken Read crashed in 1976. The goal is to stay crouched despite the strong rotation. From here, the route briefly follows the Hasenbach valley parallel to the Wengernalpbahn. The Girmschbiel hill, located on the opposite side of the small valley, has become a fan stadium in the middle of the route for several years thanks to its location right next to the Wengernalp train station. On the hill and in the temporary bars and VIP zones set up there, over 10,000 visitors watch the race - only here they have a direct view of the famous key points of Hundschopf, Minsch-Kante and Canadian Corner.

Alpweg

[edit]

1,860 m a.s.l. – Another fast gliding section, the Alpweg. The section is built as a just three meter wide connecting piece between the upper and lower parts of the run in the middle of the steep slope in the Hasenbachtal and must therefore be secured with safety nets on the left.

Kernen-S / Brüggli-S

[edit]

1,825 m a.s.l. – Russi calls this combination of curves “the craziest chicane in the World Cup circus.” This very tight combination of a right and a left bend leads over a short bridge. Due to the high entry speed of 100 km/h, the driver has to drift in order to slow down and find the most technically sophisticated line possible without losing much speed. Quite a few drivers are driven a short distance up the opposite slope when exiting. Some of the world's best downhill skiers such as Karl Molitor, Jean-Claude Killy, Toni Sailer and Karl Schranz were eliminated at this technically difficult point. If you have an exit speed that is too low (at least 70 km/h is required), you risk losing more time on the following gliding sections. Until 2007, this passage was still called Brüggli-S. It was renamed after the resignation of Bruno Kernen, who had a serious fall here in 1997 and was almost uninjured.

Club5+

[edit]

In 1986, elite Club5 was originally founded by prestigious classic downhill organizers: Kitzbühel, Wengen, Garmisch, Val d’Isère and Val Gardena/Gröden, with goal to bring alpine ski sport on the highest levels possible.[28]

Later over the years other classic longterm organizers joined the now named Club5+: Alta Badia, Cortina, Kranjska Gora, Maribor, Lake Louise, Schladming, Adelboden, Kvitfjell, St.Moritz and Åre.[29]
