Adelboden Events
The highlight in Adelboden’s calendar of events and the biggest party weekend in winter is the AUDI FIS Ski World Cup at Chuenisbargli, one of the most difficult giant slalom races in the world. Another great fun event for spectators and participants is the Horaschlitta-Rena, a crazy long-horn sledge race, also on Chuenisbargli.Winterylute Adelboden
Adelboden and guests greet the winter with the traditional “Winterylüte” celebrations on a Saturday mid-December.
AUDI FIS Ski World Cup Racing
Adelboden is a permanent feature in the AUDI FIS World Cup Ski race calendar and hosts one of the World Cup’s most challenging giant slalom ski races on the famous Chuenisbargli course in January each year. The world’s ski racers are cheered on by a crowd of 30,000 spectators so book your accommodation early if you want to join them for the giant slalom on Saturday and the slalom on Sunday.
Horaschlitta-Rena on Chuenslibargli
Another race event with a difference is the Adelboden Horaschlitta-Rena in February each year, which is a crazy toboggan race and an amazing spectacle, as 100 or more traditional long-horned sledges, manned by crews of two, race at breakneck speeds down the slopes at Chuensbargli to finish the course in the shortest possible time. Some teams wear modern winter sports clothes but many are kitted out in traditional old clothes as a reminder of days gone by when farmers used Horaschlitta style sledges to bring hay down to the valley for winter.
Children’s Olympiad in Adelboden
