The Chuenisbärgli (also Kuonisbergli ) is a mountain in the Bernese Oberland . It lies above the village of Adelboden and is known as the venue for races in the Alpine Ski World Cup .
World cup race
The slope on the Chuenisbärgli is considered to be the toughest giant slalom course in the World Cup for men. Both the starting section and the finish slope are extremely steep, and the slope is sloping. Slalom races are also held on it. Former World Cup driver Hans Pieren has been racing director since 1994 .
The start of the giant slalom is 1730 m above sea level. M. , the one for the slalom at 1473 m above sea level. The length of the giant slalom is 1430 meters, the length of the slalom 592 meters. The goal is at an altitude of 1294 m above sea level. With around 35,000 spectators along the route and on temporary grandstands in the finish area, the races in Adelboden are among the most popular in the world.
In 1955 the first international Adelboden ski days took place. The races have been held as part of the Ski World Cup since 1967. In 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1994 the races had to be held in other locations due to lack of snow. Due to the requirements of the world association FIS , a new four-seater chairlift was built on the Chuenisbärgli in 2005. Before that, there was a two-person T-bar lift at the same location for 50 years.
In the early days of the World Cup, there was basically only one giant slalom, initially on two days (Monday 1st run / Tuesday 2nd run) and then both runs on Tuesday. There was a deviation in 2000 with a slalom on Sunday, February 20th. In 2001 there was the last giant slalom on Tuesday. From and including 2002, giant slalom and slalom will be driven, the date has been moved to the weekend (giant slalom Saturday, slalom Sunday).
Record winner (including 2019) is Austrian Marcel Hirscher with 9 successes (5 × slalom, 4 × giant slalom), ahead of Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark with 5 victories (all giant slalom).
It was not until 1982 that the races were broadcast directly on television.

In summer the Chuenisbärgli is used as an alp with 24 hectares of pastureland. It's privately owned. It is occupied with cows, cattle, calves and goats. The bump is 23 bumps in 84 days, or 19 normal bumps. About 600 kg of cheese are traditionally handcrafted over an open fire pit, the majority of which is Bernese Alpine cheese . The alpine hut from 1946 serves as a mountain restaurant in winter.
