Hahnenkamm Races Kitzbühel 2027

The Hahnenkamm Races 2027 take place in Kitzbühel, Austria, from 18 to 24 January 2027. The race week brings the alpine ski World Cup to the legendary Streif downhill, the Super-G course and the Ganslern slalom. It is one of the biggest events in winter sport and a strong option for ski holidays, VIP trips and sports-themed group tours.

About the Hahnenkamm Races

The Hahnenkamm Races have been held in Kitzbühel since the 1930s, and the Streif is widely regarded as one of the most demanding downhill courses in the world. Race week mixes elite sport with a lively town atmosphere, with crowds lining the finish area, fan zones in the town and evening events.

The organiser runs three disciplines: the Super-G on the Streifalm, the downhill on the Streif and the slalom on the Ganslern. The official sport programme for 2027, published on the race website, sets the training and race days within the week.

For travellers, race week combines watching top skiers with skiing in the large Kitzbühel ski area, so it suits both sports fans and keen skiers. Kitzbühel's medieval town centre adds shopping and dining.
