The best places to watch the Lauberhorn are:
Start area: Spectators can
observe the racers' preparations and see the first long gliding sections of the
course
Hundschopf: This is one of the
most attractive parts of the course.
Girmschbiel: Below Wengernalp.
From here spectators have an excellent view of the Hundschopf, Minschkante,
Canadian Corner and Alpweg. The race can be followed entirely on the big screen.
Hanneggschuss: Here the racers
reach the fastest speeds in the tuck.
The Final S before the last jump
can be seen much better than previously due to work carried out this summer. The
big screen in the finish area shows the entire course for those watching from
the finish.
