On Saturday and Sunday, the world's best downhill skiers meet on the legendary Chuenisbärgli, hoping for victory in the Fred Rubi memorial cup. Without doubt, the Adelboden World Cup races are classics among the various events of the ski world, and are a magnet for over 30'000 spectators who come to the traditional ski festival.
