The Austrian region of Lower Austria and the Winter Sports Club Semmering (WSV) are gearing up for an exciting season! This year, you can catch the ladies' skiing action at Semmering-Hirschenkogel, slated for late December.

Since 1995, Semmering has made a name for itself in the ski world, hosting the Ladies' World Cup every two years, alternating with East Tyrol's Lienz. As we speak, organizers are getting ready for their big return to the Semmering slope.

Overcoming Obstacles, Embracing Opportunity

The WSV Semmering has managed to secure the necessary funds and resources for staging two races in December. With the FIS conference in Vilamoura, Portugal, expected to give the final green light, it's all systems go!

Much like the dynamic sport they're supporting, the Bergbahnen Semmering and cable car operators have shown resilience and creativity in the face of adversity. The temporary closure of the Lienz area prompted them to rethink their strategy, leading to the Semmering-Hirschenkogel's turn to host this prestigious event.

Shining the Spotlight on Lower Austria

Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP) considers the Ladies' World Cup races as fantastic advertising for Lower Austria. The winter sports region has much to offer, and the electric atmosphere that comes with hosting such events showcases its potential perfectly.

The memory of the vibrant scene witnessed in December 2020, with approximately 13,000 spectators at the Magic Mountain and millions tuned in on TV, lives on to inspire the current preparations.

Whether you're an avid skier or a sports enthusiast, mark your calendars for this Grand Slalom extravaganza! Stay tuned for more details as the event draws closer, and remember - skiing action, Austrian style, is never to be missed! 🏔️🏄‍♀️✨

Engage with the thrilling sports scene this winter as international sports-betting platforms take note of the upcoming Ladies' World Cup races at Semmering-Hirschenkogel. With the FIS conference's approval likely, the stage could open for veritable fusion, with spectators worldwide potentially wagering on their preferred skiers alongside experiencing the electric atmosphere.
