Ski World Cup, Lauberhorn, Wengen, 2003
This 2003 badge was part of a corporate set that promoted the world famous FIS Ski World Cup Lauberhornrennen ski race - held annually in mid-January in Wengen, Switzerland. The large badge shown here would have been issued to TV and Radio personnel whilst other designated guests and visitors would have also received a bespoke badge. The event in 2003 was the 73rd to take place, since the first race in 1930.
The badges show an action graphic of a downhill skier in silhouette, against a tri-banded background - the overall visual effect creates a strong sense of speed, agility and balance.....qualities that are needed in abundance to conquer the Lauberhorn challenge.
The prestigious event (featuring the Super Combined, Slalom and Downhill), is located in the spectacular Bernese Oberland region, in the vicinity of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau with the Lauterbrunnen valley below. The breathtaking event pulls in the largest crowds for a World Cup ski event - around 30,000 spectators and at approximately 4.5 kilometres in length, it is the longest event in the downhill calendar. The vertical drop of over a kilometre makes the circuit an incredible challenge - undoubtedly the blue ribbon event of the downhill World Cup Season.
The badges shown here were manufactured in Gippingen by the Swiss maker Faude & Huguenin AG, a company that specialises in medals, pins, badges, coins, cups, trophies, key fobs, and insignia.
