The 81st International Inferno Races 2025 in Mürren are history: a Bernese Oberland triple victory was thwarted in both the men's and women's downhill races. Kilian Burri from Boltigen and Tanja Brawand from Grindelwald both came out on top. However, the race was clearly dominated by the warm temperatures, which simply made it impossible to win with a high start number.
A warm breeze was alread
Since mid-October, the Schilthorn summit has not been accessible from Birg due to the construction of the new aerial cableway. The closure is directly reflected in the frequency and the turnover. Several catering establishments, the hotels industry and winter sports, on the other hand, paint a positive picture. Highlights of the past year were the opening of two new cableways.
Today, Saturday, 14th December 2024, the time has come: the world's steepest cable car starts operating.
