MATTERHORN CERVINO SPEED OPENING

The World Cup races in Zermatt/Cervinia will take place on 11 and 12 November 2023 and 18 and 19 November 2023. The programme includes the men's downhill races on the first weekend and the women's downhill races on the second weekend.

The Gran Becca course is embedded in a unique natural setting between the Plateau Rosa mountain station (3,720 metres above sea level) and Laghi Cime Bianche (2,835 metres above sea level). More information about the downhill piste here.

The Sunrise Fanzone on Testa Grigia and the Laghi Cime Bianche finish area are accessible from Zermatt either by train or ski/snowboard (Matterhorn Glacier Paradise to Testa Grigia) and with a valid ski pass or single ticket. You can find all the important information about the ski pass here:

  • Only guests with an official World Cup ticket will be allowed to take the cable car from Plateau Rosa - Laghi Cime Bianche to reach the finish area.
  • The ski area on the Swiss side will be open as normal, weather conditions permitting.
