62nd World Airlines Ski Championships

13 to 18 March 2022 | canceled

The current situation in Switzerland is still unchanged, but the development with the Omikron variant is uncertain, and the numbers are currently very high. It must be assumed that the measures will not relax, which would limit us severely in the program. Under these circumstances, the risk of holding the event is too great. Everyone's health comes first. For this reason, we have decided to move the WASC 2022 to 2024.


We regret this decision very much. Nevertheless, are we looking forward to experiencing an unforgettable week together in 2024. Until then, we will use the time optimally and continue to work on the existing project.
We will let you know the exact dates in time. Your registrations will be deleted. If you are still interested in coming to Lenzerheide for a few days this week, either alone or with the team, please feel free to contact us.
We thank you for your understanding and wish you all the best. Stay safe and healthy.

 Sporty greetings and see you soon in Lenzerheide
