ÖSV Already Planning Next Ski World Championship in Austria

According to the ÖSV, the Ski World Championships 2033 should be brought to St. Anton for the second time since 2001, as was officially announced on Friday. "St. Anton am Arlberg has a long tradition as a host of significant ski events and has all the prerequisites to once again host an unforgettable World Championships," said ÖSV President Roswitha Stadlober.

Ski World Championships 2033: ÖSV Sends St. Anton into the Race as Host

The state of Tyrol and the municipality of St. Anton are on board - and recalled 2001, when the then World Championships resulted in an infrastructure offensive as well as advertising effects. "Hosting another Ski World Championships would have enormous appeal for the state of Tyrol and would offer an outstanding opportunity to showcase Tyrol's strengths on a global stage," said Tourism and Economic Councillor Mario Gerber (ÖVP). "St. Anton am Arlberg already proved in 2001 that it can host World Championships at the highest level. The region lives and breathes skiing, has excellent infrastructure, and shows enormous enthusiasm for international events," emphasized ÖSV Secretary General Christian Scherer. "Therefore, it is only logical that we want to send St. Anton into the race as the next World Championships host for 2033." Since 2001, the World Cup circuit has occasionally stopped in St. Anton. For women, a biennial rhythm alternating with Zauchensee has been established since 2021. The men last competed for World Cup points in the "cradle of alpine skiing" in 2004.
