- Inferno downhill ski competition 2024, start number 66 (became 11th in men over 50 years and 89th on overall) and 1850 racers all together. The race run was about 7,5km. GPS on camera didn't work, so the speed is missing, but according the watch the top speed was 124,4km/h. #downhill #inferno #mürren #downhill #highwaytohell #infernorennen #infernorennen #speed #snow #skiing #alpine #lauterbrunnen #Switzerland #alps #alpineskiing #rennen #race #competition #crazyness #downhillski #whitecircus #alpen #skifahren #abfahrt #2024 #fun #funnyvideo #excitement #Skipussi #ski #madness #velocity #velocità #mountains #topoftheworld #number #views
Great Race. Thx 4 the ride. Next time, try a bit a different angle for the camera ;-)
Awesome race! What a jump into the „Kompression“ 😳👌🏼
Yep, it was a bit scary feeling when you noticed that you were flying a bit longer, which I didn't expect to happen😉
I could tell by the sound when you landed
That looks like a lot of fun, a new bucket list item!

5:00 I felt that moment in my legs while watching.
Well done!!
Wow!!! this is fire!!! I didn’t understand where some "speedy gonzales" appeared on the left in the last meters. The guys who planned this event are funny dudes. Thanks to the author for the emotions - eggs rolled into my throat more than once.
The starting frequency between the competitors is 12 seconds, so this speedy gonzales left 12 seconds after me and managed to pass me after chasing me 7,5km😁
@@VilleVahla dude you are cool! drive and don't pay attention to the haters!
Awesome! Ignore the trolls, they’ve probably never been on skis.
I would LOVE to do this - looks great fun!!
Just check out the organiser's Web pages, so you'll find out when and how you can do it😉 www.inferno-muerren.ch/en

nice run
Erste mall wan ich habt gesen zo etwas ist sehr schwer Aber sher Schoen
Geil😊
Well done, in also a Young Ski racer. It has to be really Hard in the legs to stay so Long in the Abfahrtshocke! 🤪How old do you have to be to take part in this Race ? Can ever1 join it ?
Yes, it is pretty heavy for your legs but the finish was on half way compared to year 2019. If you check my run from 2019 from 7min 30 seconds on then you'll see rest of the run until Lauterbrunnen (finish line 2024 and until that the same track) czcams.com/video/GFqumJ_k758/video.htmlsi=xChcHQn55ix5IGvG
Then it was 14,9km the whole run.
You have to be 18 years old and belong to some team which participates to Inferno. I don't know is it possible to have team of 1 skier.
You'll find more info of the race from official websites: www.inferno-muerren.ch/en
Thank you!
Great race! You have done an impressive route. Were you wearing a competition suit? I have seen two or three very dangerous curves without markings.👍
Thanx and yep, I was wearing the same race suit as in my profile photo. It is an enormous difference in speed when you wear a race suit instead of outwear. And as a competitive person, when you have a race number on you, the only option is to ski as fast as possible...😆
Omg, never i drive so fast. Respect 👍🏽 one mistake will End with bad follows.
You see there helicopters in the air all the time during the race, because they take people to hospital after crashes.
How long is that race??? Its awesome!
About 7,5km. If there was snow enough, it would be 14,9km. I have skied 14,9km race once.
Ale ano proč ne,možné inferno je ta délka:-) Ale hezky sjezd🙂
Sorry! I speak only Finnish, Swedish, English, German and Italian, so I can't reply to your comment because I don't understand what you wrote. Hopefully, it was something fun😁
Nice \,,/
Felt more like a purgatory then hell.
The name of the race is Inferno Rennen(race), so you describe quite well that infernal experience😁
@@VilleVahla 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the most unusual downhill "races" I've ever seen, having been in a few myself. Essentially, it is a gently guided trip from the hill's top to bottom with no real identifiable turns to speak of. Now, if you want to see "turns" performed by someone who's racing look for a slalom or GS race - HOWEVER - you may notice that the guy in the blue suit seemed to beat the guy we were part of very handily, essentially arriving at the race's end at the same time. In this case what you were seeing, given equal skis and base prep, was the ability to guide one's skis, including during turns, sharp or otherwise, without scrubbing off speed. For instance, have you ever noticed, while skiing with friends and just "running flat" - i.e. no real turns to speak of - that there was always one guy in particular - same length and type of ski with no special base preparation, who always, much to your frustration, always seemed to go faster than you...? Well, there is an art to that, a skill that some have naturally and which for others (me) can be very difficult to learn, and that was what this race was all about.
And if you were ever competing against guys like that you could pole your ass off and no matter what you did, those are the guys that won races like this. Fast, flat running can be difficult to figure out - and when skiing "against" folks (gals or guys) like that, even when "not racing", which never happened for me as I (and all my friends it seemed) was always "competing" (I am a male after all 😜), could, under the right circumstances (like always 😡😡😡) be infuriating. So, at night, when we were all "sleeping" - despite regular bouncing up and down movement in some bunks - I'd sneak outside and cut their skis in half.
Good hills, good snow, good conditions to you all. You're enjoying the best sport in the world ❤️❤️❤️
You are right, this is quite unusual race. All together, 1850 competing on a same day. Every 12 seconds, one starts. Behind the link, you can see the race course map. The start is in about 2,9km high, and this year, the finish line was in point Z2. When there is enough snow, then the finish line is in point Z1 (7,5 km longer race course than this year). www.inferno-muerren.ch/en/facts-and-figures/race-course
Have done it once, year 2019 and if you check my race run from that year from 7 min and 30 seconds on ward (continues from this year's finish) you'll see the rest of the race course also. czcams.com/video/GFqumJ_k758/video.htmlsi=BxwF1p8zdOGGuKwk
Totally agree, this is absolutely fabulous sport! Great skiing for you and your friends also!
@@VilleVahla If we were located 'round the same hill, and if I was young enough to still ski without making an "ow!...fuck this hurts!" noise over and over (while my wife, a retired Olympic athlete...look up Debbie Brill...says, over and over, oh FFS be quiet) I suspect you and I could have a very good time skiing together.
I was a sports med/addiction medicine specialist, and strength coach (now retired) and thoroughly enjoyed a variety of sports, especially skiing. While doing so, and at a very slow pace, while shaking the new powder out of goggles (not paying attention) I slowly skied into a small river and broke my leg in 3 places. The fall seemed to be in slow motion until I heard a very loud "CRACK" at which time things got very fast and very (my profession likes to use the word "exquisitely" in cases like this) painful. Following 3 years of frustratingly slow recovery I went back to skiing and skied better than ever for some odd reason.
After meeting my wife (instantly in love) I gave up skiing while raising a family. Thirty plus years we're still together and live on almost an acre of the most beautiful situation imaginable...mountains, ocean, islands in full view, and a 100 yard walk to the beach....and gardens ++++ If you're ever on Vancouver Island, come visit us...
@douglascoleman1252 Thank you! I will visit if I pop by on Vancouver island, although it's a bit far away from Helsinki😄
Skiing with good friends is best what you can do on skis and we do it once in a year in this competition. We have a strong team in Inferno Rennen, and everyone in our team has some kind of background on racing in skiing. One of my friends has raced in alpine world cup and Olympics, and some of them in moguls WC/Olympics. This year, there were 3 of us in top 11 in the category men +50 years. 2nd, 3rd, and I was 11th (all together a little under 400 racing in that category). It's pretty well done by the Finnish guys who don't have even any mountains in their flat country😆.
In my youth, I played goalkeeper in Finnish football premier league, so I have faced several injuries too. Several knee and finger surgical operations, so I know also how it takes time to recover, but I haven't faced that bad injury what you unluckily experienced.
Anyway, all the best to you and your wife!
@@VilleVahla And we have our own AirBnB...check it out Brilliant by The Bay (Comox)...
Awesome! Where do I sign up? 😁

Adjust the damage camera angle, great video though, remarkably stabile.
Yes, the problem was that didn't notice the wrong angle before the start and the rerun wasn't possible😁
7,5 km is insane! This did not look like something I would do or recommend to other skiers.😟
It's short...😉 with the better snow situation the max lenght of the race is 14,9 km😃 Have done it once and it was hard one.
@@VilleVahla I know about the max length, and that's even more insane, he, he!
etwas eintönig !!!
Die eintönigkeit verschwindet tatsächlich, wenn man sich selbst die Strecke in maximum 125 km/h fährt ab😉
Und trotzdem hast Du es Dir angeschaut. 🤷🏼♂
Hieno veto Ville. Missä tämä kisa oli?
Sveitsissä Mürrenissä jossa laakson vastapuolella on Wengen. Tuossa kisan virallinen sivusto, josta saa paremman ymmärryksen minkälainen vuotuinen kisatapahtuma kyseessä. www.inferno-muerren.ch/en
Kann da eigentlich jeder mitfahren, oder braucht man auch eine gewisse Qualifikation?
Kein Qualifikation aber die Organisatoren nehmen in maximum 1850 Konkurrenten wenn über 2000 Personen teilnehmen wollten. Du findest mehr Information unter www.inferno-muerren.ch/en
ma non è Kitzbuhel ??
Non è Kitzbühel. Questo posto è Mürren in Svizzera. Il nome della gara è Inferno Rennen. La più lunga discesa gara per amateur nel mondo. Quando c'è più neve la lunghezza della gara è 14,9km.
Grazie VilleVahla della risposta molto gentile !!!!!
And what was your place?
In Senioren 2 (men over 50) 352 racers reached the finish line and I was 11th. In overall 1676 racers reached the finish line and I was 89th.
@@VilleVahla Great 👍🤩
Top!!! Gratulation zum super Rennen und zur hervorragenden Zeit!!!😮👏💪
(lässt sich mit Hilfe der Videozeit abzüglich der Zeit vor Start und nach Ziel ja in etwa abschätzen...:))
@@christophsozzi2763 7 Minuten und 20 Sekunden aber 2 von meine Freunde haben in 7 Minuten und 3 Sekunden gemacht. Nicht so schlecht von den alten Finnen ohne die Berge 😂
@@VilleVahla wahrlich wirklich nicht schlecht für Flachland-Finnen 👍👍😂
Ich kriegte leider die gelbe Flagge bei der Einfahrt Kanonenrohr und war gezwungen Tempo rauszunehmen, zudem war die Piste dann doch schon ein bisschen holpriger...
Trotzdem, nächstes Jahr dann bestimmt wieder ein paar Startnummern weiter vorne :)
Gruss vom Flachland-Schweizer ✌️
No, anche perchè non è lunga 7 min e mezzo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ma che cazzo di pista è?......
La pista è in Mürren Svizzera. Premi il link che puoi vedere la pista. Quest'anno la gara era dal Start al punto Z2. www.inferno-muerren.ch/en/facts-and-figures/race-course
@@VilleVahla orrenda...
@@gianlucacapretti4630 😆
Per 3/4 è più simile a una gara di fondo che a una discesa libera.. atroce!
alzala un po' sta Camera....non si vede un caxxo
So bene, l'anno prossima in gennaio viene un nuovo video e poi l'angolo di visione va bene.
Can't think of anything else ,......boring !!! Glad it's not an official FIS Race. I wouldn't want to watch this race, schlepping, Wengen, Kitzbühel,...now thats a race !!
I agree, the world cup down hill skiing is more interesting, but this is something crazy what amateurs are allowed to do also. Anyway, you are welcome to try it and show how you'll manage + on the other hand anyone doesn't force you to watch this kind of races so focus on world cup races in the future also😉
my mother could have made this transpot run faster and she is 85. waist of bandwith and disc space
But that is great! I hope to see your 85 years old mother in Inferno Rennen on 25.1.2025. I assume that you have inherited her exceptional fast downhill skiing genes, so it would be great to see you also on starting line🙂 It would be a pleasure to learn from the best.
