We’ve got two great days of competition on the Saturday and Sunday, plus lots of other activities in and around the World Cup Village. The Nevis Range Ski Area is taken over by the World Cup on these days and access to the World Cup Village and the event is by ticket only, available in advance or on arrival.
In the week before the World Cup (1-5 June), the site is being prepared with training and 4X qualification on Friday. Nevis Range is accessible to all and the gondola operates normally during this period.
On the Saturday night, the action moves from the World Cup site at Nevis Range to the Party in the Fort in Fort William.
