Celebrating tradition
Inaugurated by the legendary Kandahar Ski Club of Mürren, Switzerland, the Mürren Inferno is arguably the longest and most challenging downhill race in the world. Founded by skiing legend Sir Arnold Lunn, the Inferno was first run in 1928. Its challenging 10 mile ski course includes components of downhill, slalom, and cross-country disciplines and the remains the largest amateur race in the world today.
Designed by Tradition
First held in January 1928, the inaugural Inferno Race took place when 19 members of Kandahar Ski Club climbed the Schilthorn (2,970m) above Mürren to race down the 2,100 meters to Lauterbrunnen, 14 kilometres away. A journey of almost 10 miles (nearly 5 times the length of contemporary downhill Olympic courses), the Inferno was an alpine event on steroids, whose novelty and legitimate physical and mental obstacles, along with the simplistic “first to the bottom wins” rule, created powerful appeal to the growing racing class.
