Lauberhorn Races
Lauberhorn Races takes place Jan 15 - 17, 2027 in Wengen, Switzerland. The dress code is Warm winter layers, hat, gloves and waterproof boots for standing in snow; casual throughout, with sunglasses for the high-altitude glare. Typical cost ranges from 900 to 3000 EUR per person.
The longest downhill on the World Cup at roughly 4.5 km, taking well over two minutes and staged above car-free Wengen with the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau filling the horizon. Trackside viewing is free or low-cost and reached entirely by cog railway, which keeps the atmosphere old-world Bernese Oberland rather than corporate. It is the most beautiful weekend in ski racing and the easiest of the classics to attend on a budget.

How to attend
Tickets for the 97th races go on sale online only from Nov 2, 2026 at lauberhorn.ch, and you need a booking profile to buy. Grandstand seats are ticketed but large stretches of the course have free or low-cost standing access, so plenty of spectators pay nothing beyond the train fare. Wengen is car-free, so park in Lauterbrunnen and take the cog railway up. Book the village lodging before you book the ticket.
Insider tip
The Hundschopf jump is the shot everyone knows and it costs nothing to stand there - walk up from the village early. If the weather holds, the Patrouille Suisse display over the finish area on race Saturday is worth timing your day around.
