Proposed early-season Matterhorn World Cup speed races gain momentum
Descending from Switzerland into Italy, it would be the first event in World Cup history to take place on transnational territory
Imagine downhill racers launching themselves from a 3,899-meter start altitude, racing in the shadow of the majestic Matterhorn, proceeding to descend full-gas over the Italian border and finishing in the charming resort of Cervinia. Sounds like a dream?
With cooperation between the Swiss Ski Federation and the Italian Winter Sports Association (FISI), along with the tourist and ski destinations of Zermatt and Cervinia, this dream appears closer to reality. The project is labeled “The Matterhorn World Cup” and could entirely reshape the FIS World Cup calendar.
