Dispute over stadium
“No plan B”: World Ski Championships under bad stars
The Alpine World Ski Championships are due to take place in Crans-Montana in two years' time. However, objections to the construction of the new finish stadium are threatening the staging of the world championships. "There is no plan B for us at the moment. We need the space. I hope that a solution will be found with the neighbors in the coming weeks and months. From what I've heard, the talks are relatively positive at the moment," Didier Défago, CEO of the upcoming World Championships in Valais, told Keystone-SDA.
Swiss-Ski President Urs Lehmann said in "Blick": "The six men who have lodged objections should be aware of the following: This is an action against skiing, Crans-Montana, Valais and Switzerland. I have zero understanding for this." He would like to meet these gentlemen in person next weekend. "FIS President Johan Eliasch is also coming to Crans-Montana especially for this. We want to talk to them so that we can finally get this tiresome issue off the table."
According to municipal president Nicolas Féraud, the deadline for finding a solution is mid-March.
