The 78th International Inferno-Races from January 20th -23rd 2021 are now sold out. Around 300 more competitors have registered for the downhill race than the maximum number of participants allowed. Numerous top ski racers from Switzerland and abroad will be in the starting gate.
The Swiss Government announced that events with more than 1,000 people will be permitted to resume from the beginning of October. This ruling means that the Inferno Races from 20 – 23 January 2021 may go ahead as usual. Nonetheless, the organising committee has considered all eventualities and drawn up a Plan B. Entry fees will be reimbursed in full if the event has to be cancelled.
On the Schilthorn ridge, the existing 007 Walk of Fame was expanded with four information boards. A total of 13 boards currently line the path.
At the end of April, Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. submitted to the Federal Office of Transport the dossiers for the SCHILTHORN CABLEWAY 20XX planning approval application. This far-reaching project replaces the existing cableway facilities and stations. Construction is expected to commence in spring 2022. A project website has been set up at www.schilthornbahn20xx.ch.
