Demo Event on the Jenner

On Sunday,  March 7, 2027, the Jennerbahn middle station will become a meeting place for winter sports fans, families, and curious visitors. The Alpine Luge Sprint Slalom focuses on an innovative winter sports experience that adds a whole new dimension to luge.

Classic natural track sledding is evolving into Alpine sledding – with new possibilities, race formats, and spectacular slalom on the slopes. Exciting professional races as a demo event for the future World Cup impressively demonstrate how dynamic and versatile this young discipline is. The first run begins at 11:00 a.m. The second run starts at 1:00 p.m.

At the same time, visitors can look forward to a varied and action-packed family program starting at 10:30 a.m.:
A toboggan park with different sections for all age groups, a separate children’s toboggan school supervised by experienced toboggan coaches from Berchtesgaden, and an open children’s race (2:00 p.m.) offer ideal opportunities for young tobogganers to get started, with the focus clearly on fun.
Special highlight: For children and young people under the age of 18, the Jennerbahn cable car ride up and down the mountain is free on the day of the event.

The sporting day ends with free use of the slalom course for everyone and a cozy finale in the “HALBZEIT” restaurant.

Alpine Luge marks a technological milestone in winter sports – comparable to the introduction of carving skis in skiing. It combines maneuverability, control, speed, and riding enjoyment in a new, dynamic design that nevertheless remains true to the classic recreational sled. Thanks to its universal design, it can be used on both snow and ice, has standardized, inexpensive runners, and thus opens up access to (racing) luge for new nations. The product creates the basis for a modern, accessible winter experience and positions itself as a bridge between recreational and competitive sports.
The Alpine Luge Sprint Slalom is a luge discipline in which athletes race through a set of gates on ski slopes. In two rounds, the athlete with the fastest total time is determined. The maximum duration of a run is around 25 seconds.
The first run starts at 11:00 a.m. The second run starts at 1:00 p.m.
The new alpine luge sprint slalom format is being tested at World Cup level on the Jenner. Further formats and implementation in the World Cup are planned for the coming winter seasons.
The toboggan park offers the ideal environment for learning how to use the new toboggan safely and dynamically. It defines the basic concept of a standardized and experience-oriented tobogganing infrastructure in winter sports destinations. The toboggan park was developed by the International Luge Federation (FIL). On up to four different tracks (braking track, curve track, parallel track, speed track), tobogganing maneuvers can be taught methodically and learned in a playful way by young and old alike.
