class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

Traditionally, the alpine ski season starts on the glacier above Sölden. This year, however, the World Cup starts a week later. The women open their season with the giant slalom on October 28, the next day Marco Odermatt tries to win the classic for the third time in a row.

In mid-November and thus two weeks later than last year, the second attempt with the first speed races for men (November 11/12) and women (November 18/19) in Zermatt/Cervinia should succeed.

Combination premiere in Kitzbühel

At the start of the year, the Classic Weeks for men take place with the races in Adelboden (January 6/7), Wengen (January 12-14) and Kitzbühel (January 19-21). The team combination will have a World Cup premiere on Friday at the 84th Hahnenkamm Races. A speed and a slalom driver from the same country compete together for victory.

With Gurgl, a new place on the men’s World Cup calendar has appeared. On November 18, a men’s slalom will be held in the Ötztal. The pole acrobats will certainly get their money’s worth this season. 13 slaloms are planned – as many as once, in the 85/86 season, in the World Cup.

Women in St. Moritz and Crans-Montana

Towards the end of the season, the men’s World Cup entourage will make a second trip abroad. In late February and early March, Palisades Tahoe, California and Aspen, Colorado will only host technical races. Speed ​​races were held at Aspen last year.

The women will make another stopover next winter in St. Moritz (December 8-10) and Crans-Montana (February 16-18).

The upcoming season, which comes without a major event, will conclude with the final in Saalbach. As a novelty, the final decisions will be made over two weekends at the 2025 World Cup venue – first in the technical disciplines and then in the speed disciplines. (SDA)
