Following the reflections prompted by the tragic events of 1 January 2026, the Organising Committee of the Crans-Montana 2026 Ski World Cup has decided to focus the event on sporting competitions.

As a result, all activities in the Ycoor fan zone have been cancelled, including all daytime entertainment in the centre of Crans-Montana, the official ceremonies, as well as the Curling Club. From 30 January to 1 February 2026, spectators will be able to attend the competitions from designated areas along the course and around the finish area.

This decision reflects the desire to offer a respectful setting, in line with the context and the values upheld by the event.

More than ever, the Ski World Cup is driven by a deep passion for sport, by the athletes’ performances, and by the values of respect, solidarity and togetherness. In this particular period, sport takes on a deeper meaning: it becomes a source of positive emotion and motivation, capable of bringing the community together, strengthening connections and carrying forward a shared memory with sincerity.
