The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2011 are held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany, from February 7 to February 20 2011.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen last hosted the World Championships in 1978. It also hosted the first Olympic alpine skiing competition (a combined event), at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
The FIS awarded the championships on May 25, 2006, in Vilamoura, Portugal. The runner-up was Schladming, Austria, which will host in 2013.
The competitions are taking place at Garmisch Classic, one of the two skiing areas of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Prior to landing the 2011 event in 2006, Garmisch-Partenkirchen had unsuccessfully bid to host the world championships five times in the previous two decades.
