Complete the Look

Celebrating tradition

Inaugurated by the legendary Kandahar Ski Club of Mürren, Switzerland, the Mürren Inferno is arguably the longest and most challenging downhill race in the world. Founded by skiing legend Sir Arnold Lunn, the Inferno was first run in 1928. Its challenging 10 mile ski course includes components of downhill, slalom, and cross-country disciplines and the remains the largest amateur race in the world today.

Designed by Tradition

First held in January 1928, the inaugural Inferno Race took place when 19 members of Kandahar Ski Club climbed the Schilthorn (2,970m) above Mürren to race down the 2,100 meters to Lauterbrunnen, 14 kilometres away. A journey of almost 10 miles (nearly 5 times the length of contemporary downhill Olympic courses), the Inferno was an alpine event on steroids, whose novelty and legitimate physical and mental obstacles, along with the simplistic “first to the bottom wins” rule, created powerful appeal to the growing racing class.

Forged Performance

100% traceable pure Mongolian cashmere from the legendary Italian mill Botto Giuseppe that is Cradle to Cradle certified - a leading certification of sustainability, durability and quality.

Inferno!

This sweater is the softest sweater ever. Impeccably crafted. I'm going to ski the Inferno course on the Schilthorn this weekend in it!

Love it!

This is my 3rd Alps&Meters Sweater. They all are of the highest quality.

Each time I wear one of them, I get a compliment and refer people. They are very unique and fit well.

I am 6'2" 190lbs and 42 Long. I go from Medium to Large depending on the sweater. If you like them tighter, go down a size.

This latest 1928 edition is great and have made up my own back story on what 1928 means: "There hasn't been true luxury since 1928." The cashmere and arm details are tops.
