The world championships are coming to the Montafon

The FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships 2027 will be organized by the ÖSV in cooperation with the host Ski Club Montafon, the municipalities of the valley, the state of Vorarlberg, Montafon Tourism and the Montafon mountain railroads. According to Roman Kuss from the ÖSV, the aim of the World Championships is to provide a strong impetus for winter sports. The aim is to "bring children back to the mountains", said Kuss. Manuel Bitschnau, Managing Director of Montafon Tourismus, described the 2027 FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships as a "milestone" for the Montafon. Winning the bid would be a confirmation of the region's winter sports expertise.

All Montafon municipalities are involved!
"The venues should be spread across the entire valley," says former Schruns mayor and representative of the eight municipalities Jürgen Kuster. The municipalities considered the bid very carefully and finally decided in favor of the major event.

Martina Rüscher (ÖVP), Member of the Provincial Council for Sport, described the bid as a "courageous initiative", which is not only important for economic and tourism reasons, but also serves as a role model for young people.

This is the biggest winter sports event of all time in Vorarlberg and will therefore take place here in the Montafon in 2027.
