A Huge Thank You
Dear Hahnenkamm Family,
What a fantastic Race Week that was! Rarely have preparations, training and race days gone so smoothly. The secret to this year’s success lies undoubtedly in the perfect synergy of experience, professionalism, passion and the ideal weather conditions that prevailed over the past few weeks. The hard work and perseverance paid dividends in 2025. The 85th Hahnenkamm Races may now be over, but its memories will stay etched in our hearts for ever. It was magical.
Before we start preparing for the 86th Hahnenkamm Races from 19th to 25th January 2026, however, we would like to say a huge thank you to:
- All participating athletes and teams for their extraordinary sporting achievements, especially the nations of Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, France and Austria, whose successful representatives are now proud owners of a coveted Kitzbühel “Gams” trophy
- The 81,000 fans here in Kitzbühel and the millions watching on TV and via livestreams
- the host broadcaster ORF and all its employees and managers, as well as the TV rights partners EBU and IMG for broadcasting the races all around the world
- all sponsors and our marketing agency WWP for their great contribution in supporting the high-quality organisation of the races
- the journalists from near and far for reporting from the event
- our ARGE consortium partners of Kitzbühel Municipality, Kitzbühel Tourism and Bergbahn AG (Cable Car Co), as well as all Streif and Ganslern landowners
- all service companies and partner organisations with their countless employees and helpers, who ensure that the event runs smoothly in and around Kitzbühel
- all the highly experienced members and officials of the Organising committee, whether on the slopes, in the stadium, in the offices or race management
Now let‘s join forces and put heart, body and mind into ensuring the 86th edition of this iconic sporting event is another resounding success. It will be different, but undoubtedly just as exciting, fascinating and challenging as every year.
