World Cup in the Montafon: Special top class and party for everyone!

The FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup in the Montafon is just around the corner and promises exciting competitions. From March 21st to 22nd, the best snowboarders in the world, led by Star Alessandro Hämmerle at home, will compete against each other on the demanding route on the Grasjoch. Hämmerle, Olympic champion of 2022 and winner of several World Cup races in the Montafon, is supported by a strong team, including the reigning world champion Jakob Dusek and the aspiring Elias Leitner. The mood is not only fueled on the slopes, but also in the valley with a supporting program from live music and DJ sets, as from 5min.at reported.

The event not only works as a spectacular sporting event, but also as an important test run for the FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Cup 2027, which will take place in the Montafon. The World Cup is used to further optimize the organizational processes and prepare the infrastructure for future competitions. In a preparatory process that started in 2016, project manager Christian “Chisi” Speckle was able to make significant progress. 29 decisions are expected in nine disciplines, which strongly established the Montafon as the venue for international events, as montafon.at

The route on the Grasjoch meets all requirements for the upcoming World Championships. Visitors can easily reach the races via a newly created hiking trail and experience the exciting competitions up close on a “video wall”. This not only enables ski and snowboard drivers, but also pedestrians to enjoy the exciting atmosphere around the event. The Montafon is therefore not only a winter sports destination, but also offers a varied entertainment program with its interesting events.
