Ski Events

There are numerous ski events around the world throughout the winter. Many people plan their ski holidays specifically so they can attend one or more of these events during their trip. Most are competitions held as part of the international Ski World Cup. Important competitions like these are regularly held at many winter sports resorts across Europe. In addition to alpine disciplines such as downhill, slalom and giant slalom, they include cross-country skiing, biathlon, Nordic combined, ski jumping, snowboarding and several other winter sports. Some ski events attract countless visitors from different countries every year because they receive extensive media coverage. One example is the Four Hills Tournament, a ski jumping competition held in Germany and Austria every year around New Year. Alpine World Cup events are also consistently popular. Accommodation at ski resorts is completely booked up, especially when European or World Championships are held at a winter sports resort. So if you are interested in a particular ski event, you should arrange accommodation as early as possible. Alongside these international winter sports events, there are also a number of regional ski events with a long tradition in their respective areas. These might include special dog-sled races or a torchlit night-time downhill race.
