The men's Alpine Combined at the 1988 Winter Olympics was held from February 16 to 17 in the Nakiska ski area . It was the first time this discipline had been held at the Winter Olympics since the 1948 Winter Games .

The race consisted of a downhill run and two slalom runs . The time in the downhill run and the total time from both slalom runs were converted into points; the winner was the athlete with the fewest points.

Pirmin Zurbriggen , who had already won gold in the downhill and silver in the giant slalom , was in the lead after the downhill race, but retired in the second round of the slalom. Olympic champion was Hubert Strolz from Austria, ahead of his compatriot Bernhard Gstrein . The Swiss Paul Accola finished the race on the bronze rank. Michael Mair did not start because of a fall in the descent. Marc Girardelli from Luxembourg was also absent, his father Helmut stated in the ZDF studio on February 16 that there was an elbow injury, and Marc cut his elbow tendons halfway through a fall on the steel edges of his own ski on the descent in Leukerbad . However, the real reasons for the withdrawal were suspected in a tangible row between the Girardellis and the ski company Atomic .
