World Championships or World Cup — what's the difference?
These are the World Championships (the "Worlds"), not to be confused with the annual World Cup. The Worlds are held every two years and crown world champions; the World Cup is the regular season circuit. Crans-Montana 2027 is the World Championships.
How many athletes, nations and titles?
Around 600 athletes from some 80 nations are expected, for 11 world titles across the alpine disciplines (downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, plus combined and team events), men and women. Full programme details are on cransmontana2027.ch.
Has Crans-Montana hosted the Worlds before?
Yes, in 1987. The 2027 edition marks the return of the World Championships forty years after that historic edition — a strong symbol for the resort and the whole Haut-Plateau region.
What does it change for the region and real estate?
