Wengen and the Lauberhorn — Trace the World's Longest Downhill Race

Every January the world watches as racers hurtle down the Lauberhorn at Wengen — the longest downhill course on the World Cup circuit at 4.5 km. What most people do not realise is that you can ski that exact course yourself. And with Bonvo.Ski, you can study every section of it before you drop in.

Why the Lauberhorn Is Special

The Lauberhorn downhill is not just long — it is relentless. From the start gate near the Lauberhorn summit, the course drops through open alpine terrain, a narrow traverse called the Kernen-S, the famous Hundschopf cliff jump, and a high-speed glide into the Ziel-S finish. Racers reach speeds above 160 km/h on the Haneggschuss section alone.

Trace It in Bonvo.Ski

1. Search for the Lauberhorn slope using the slope search feature — it will highlight instantly on the 3D map.
2. Open the elevation profile — Tap the slope to see the full 4.5 km descent laid out with elevation changes, so you know where the steep sections and flats are.
3. Record your own run — Start run recording at the top and ski the Lauberhorn from start to finish. Compare your time and speed with your friends.
