Or have a read of the FAQ’s on the link below, we also have the last several years results.
The 80th International Inferno ski races will take place from 22-25th January 2025.
The Schilthorn will not be accessible from October 2024 to March 2025 due to the replacement construction of the aerial cableway. The Inferno downhill race 2025 can therefore not be carried out on the original course. The start will be from Seewlifuren at the beginning of the Engetal and can be reached from the Birg middle station
As in previous years we will organise training / course inspection on the Tuesday Wednesday Thursday before the race depending on demand.
We will be holding the Eastwood Trophy , a Super-g on the Lauberhorn race course on Friday 24th January, this is an open race and we hope some Kandhar racers will join us.
Covid permitting ,we will have a team breakfast at the Jungfrau Hotel in Murren on Downhill race day, the 25th, and a team Dinner at the Eiger Hotel in Murren on Saturday night before the big party!
Its a great event requiring fitness and nerve as well as endurance and of course the ability to ski uphill as well as down!
All those who won medals in the last 3 years that the race was held are guaranteed an entry, if they want one. Anyone else who wishes to take part in the DHO team needs to apply for a bib and the team enters a ballot for the remaining places.
There will also be a disclaimer/ Inferno rules to sign (through the proactively app).
We will start collecting names for the DHO team NOW. They are registered with Datasport and the Inferno Office in Mid September. We learn who has been awarded an entry in Mid October and ask these people to pay using a credit card through the online shop. We re-apply for anyone who does not have a bib at this stage. There is a waiting list and it is very likely you will get a bib as more become available later on.
