34 years after the 1991 “Sun World Cup”, Saalbach-Hinterglemm will host the World Cup for the second time from February 4th to 23rd, 2025.

Earning 12 votes, Saalbach won the election ahead of Crans-Montana and Garmsich Partenkirchen, who each finished with one vote.

That the slogan "Wa Are Ready!" is not just an empty phrase was proved in February 2020, when with organisation window of only two weeks, the men’s Downhill and Super-G Ski World Cup races were taken over at short notice and took place on the World Cup course on the Zwölferkogel.
