Tickets

Sold in advance only, by the organiser

Every January, a medieval town in Tyrol hosts the most famous race in alpine skiing. The 87th Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbühel run as a race week from 18 to 24 January 2027: training runs early in the week, the Super-G on Friday 22 January, the downhill on the Streif on Saturday 23 January and the slalom on Sunday 24 January.

Race week

The week builds slowly. Downhill training runs from Tuesday give racers their first look at the course; Friday brings the Super-G and the first light show in town; Saturday is downhill day, the moment the whole of Austria waits for; Sunday closes with two runs of slalom at Ganslern. Each evening, prize-givings and parties fill the old town.

The Streif

The Streif drops 860 vertical metres, reaches gradients of 85 per cent and sends racers past 150 km/h. The course record, 1:51.58, has stood since 1997. The finish area, a few minutes’ walk from the Hahnenkamm railway station, is where most spectators gather, with large screens along the run-out.

Where to stay

Kitzbühel is fully booked for race week, often a year ahead. A private chalet in Kitzbühel, Aurach or Reith, with a chef and a driver, is the calmest way to host family or guests, and keeps you close to the finish without the crowds. Hotels in Kirchberg and Going are good alternatives. We research the options; you book directly, in your own name.

Arriving

Innsbruck and Salzburg are the nearest airports, each about an hour and a quarter by road in normal conditions; Munich is about two hours. Private aviation slots fill quickly for race weekend, and a driver who knows the closures around town saves hours. See our Alps concierge.
