Race results and video with a focus on our skiers 🇨🇭

The Swiss skiers: Camille Rast (3rd in 2024), Mélanie Meillard (top 10 in 2024), Wendy Holdener (4th in 2024) will be expected for this slalom in Austrian soil.

Features and characteristics of the track

Here is a summary of the key facts concerning this competition track:

• Starting altitude : 2,475 m above sea level. 
• Arrival altitude : 2,265 m — representing a vertical drop of approximately 210 m for the racing version. 
• Route length : approximately 548 m (slalom race) for World Cup competitions. 
• Slope :
  • Maximum slope: ~62 % (very steep for a slalom track). 
  • Average slope: ~38.3 % according to sources. 
• Track status : One of the most technically demanding tracks on the world circuit, for both women and men. 
• Orientation & conditions :
  • The fact that the starting point is located at a very high altitude (2,475 m) guarantees more reliable snow conditions early in the season.
  • The Obergurgl-Hochgurgl area is renowned for its reliable snow, high altitude and well-maintained slopes. 

Why this Gurgl Slalom stands out

• The combination of high altitude and steep slope creates a very serious technical test for athletes from the start of the season.
• The relatively short but intense course (548 m for 210 m of elevation gain) means little margin for error: every turn, every transition counts.
• The "wall" or steep section is a key moment in the race: athletes must manage their speed, keep to the line, and then negotiate the final, flatter zone with precision.
• From the first day of use in the Women's World Cup, this track was described as having "the potential to become a true classic".
