Becoming a queen or king doesn’t require blue blood. At the “King of the First Hill” downhill race from Oberjoch to Grindel valley, daring snow enthusiasts can earn a noble title with a fast-paced descent. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest possible time. Contenders for the royal title compete in the categories ski, snowboard, and fun. In the latter, participants race down the mountain in costume – and here it’s not the fastest but the most average time that counts. All participants are guaranteed fame and glory, while the royal crown is reserved for the very best.

GRINDELWALD-FIRST
The start is at the Oberjoch summit station chairlift. Some check gates must be passed along the way. The remainder of the route can be selected by each participant. It is definitely an advantage to familiarise yourself with the piste, which is still possible if you visit the course before the race. You then arrive at the finish line in Grindel Tal. The ranking announcement will then take place at the Eiger+ Eventplatz.
