WORLD CUP MONTAFON

Excitement, sport and a top atmosphere

From 7 to 9 December 2022, the name of the game in the Montafon will again be top sport on the mountain and a top atmosphere in the valley at the Tenth Montafon World Cup!

During the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup and the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup, international sporting greats come together on the steep, twisting courses in the Silvretta Montafon ski area. Countless fans will witness the spectacular jumps and overtaking manoeuvres of the snowboard crossers along the race course and at the fi nish. After the training and qualifi cation days at the beginning of the week, the international athletes will start their quest for the coveted podium places on the Thursday and Friday.

LOCAL HERO Alessandro Hämmerle

Of course, our three-time overall World Cup winner Alessandro “Izzi” Hämmerle from Gaschurn will also be at the start again. After his fabulous Olympic victory in Beijing in 2022 as well as his three Montafon World Cup victories in a row, the excitement is of course especially high this year!
