The popular Inferno Downhill and Cross Country ski races in Switzerland, which are open to all comers and attracts entrants from all over the world, have been cancelled this season because of Covid.
The 78th International Inferno Races in Murren were to take place from 20 – 23 January 2021 but the restrictions on major events put in place by the authorities due to the pandemic means the races cannot be held.
Earlier this year the organising committee had drawn up a Plan B for holding the event under more stringent COVID-19 restrictions. Possible measures included spreading the downhill over two days, and scaling back the apres party at the Mürren Sports Centre.
But following the introduction of more restrictions because of the pandemic, the committee made the final decision to cancel the event at an extraordinary meeting on Friday 4 December 2020.

Committee members also took into account that several long sections of the downhill run could be hit by wet snow avalanches in the warmer spring months and this would force the races to be stopped from midday onwards. Also the organisation of the combined cross-country skiing on the village streets in Mürren would be questionable in the spring.

The downhill event in the Inferno has a total entry of 1,850 racers. They start just below the Kleines Schilthorn and follow the course through the Engetal to the Schilthorn Hut. Then follows a long drawn-out ‘S’ to just below the Muttlerenhorn, followed by the challenge of the Kanonenrohr.

A slight ascent then leads to Winteregg over the Winteregg Bridge, joining the forest trail in the direction of Lauterbrunnen.
This course can be covered by competent skiers in 45 minutes approx although the winner usually completes the race in less than 15 minutes.
