The '''IPC Alpine skiing World Championship''', along with the [[Paralympic Games|Winter Paralympic Games]], are the most prestigious level of international competition in [[Paralympic alpine skiing]]. First held in 1974, the World Championships have been held every four years (even-numbered non-[[Paralympic Games|Paralympic]] years) from 198? to 2004; beginning in 2009, they have been held every other year, in odd-numbered years.
The '''World Para Alpine Skiing Championships''', known before the 2017 edition as the '''IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships''', along with the [[Paralympic Games|Winter Paralympic Games]], are the most prestigious level of international competition in [[Paralympic alpine skiing]]. First held in 1974, the World Championships have been held every four years (even-numbered non-[[Paralympic Games|Paralympic]] years) from 1982 to 2004; beginning in 2009, they have been held every other year, in odd-numbered years.


The change from holding the World Championships every four years to every two was originally set to happen in 2007. The 2007 edition was slated for [[Klosters]], [[Switzerland]], but organizers withdrew their bid in early 2006, citing a lack of funding. The [[International Paralympic Committee|IPC]] initially attempted to find a replacement host for the 2007 Championships but in April decided to cancel the event entirely.

The [[International Paralympic Committee]] initially attempted to find a replacement host for the 2007 Championships but in April decided to cancel the event entirely.

On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international governing body for Alpine skiing involving competitors with disabilities, adopted the "World Para" branding for the committees that govern all disability sports for which it serves as the international federation. Accordingly, IPC world championship events in Alpine skiing have since been known as "World Para Alpine Skiing Championships".<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.paralympic.org/news/ipc-rebrand-10-sports-it-acts-international-federation |title=The IPC to rebrand the 10 sports it acts as International Federation for |publisher=International Paralympic Committee |date=30 November 2016 |access-date=13 December 2016}}</ref>

At the 53rd International Ski Congress in July 2022, the IPC transferred responsibility of [[para-alpine skiing]] to the [[International Ski and Snowboard Federation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.paralympic.org/news/ipc-transfers-fis-governance-three-para-snow-sports|title=IPC transfers to FIS the governance of three Para snow sports|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|date=13 July 2022|accessdate=19 October 2024}}</ref>

Alexandr Alyabyev of Russia. 2013 IPC Alpine World Championships at La Molina in Spain. Day 2 of competition. Super-G final.

The World Para Alpine Skiing Championships, known before the 2017 edition as the IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships, along with the Winter Paralympic Games, are the most prestigious level of international competition in Paralympic alpine skiing. First held in 1974, the World Championships have been held every four years (even-numbered non-Paralympic years) from 1982 to 2004; beginning in 2009, they have been held every other year, in odd-numbered years.

The change from holding the World Championships every four years to every two was originally set to happen in 2007. The 2007 edition was slated for Klosters, Switzerland, but organizers withdrew their bid in early 2006, citing a lack of funding. The International Paralympic Committee initially attempted to find a replacement host for the 2007 Championships but in April decided to cancel the event entirely.

On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international governing body for Alpine skiing involving competitors with disabilities, adopted the "World Para" branding for the committees that govern all disability sports for which it serves as the international federation. Accordingly, IPC world championship events in Alpine skiing have since been known as "World Para Alpine Skiing Championships".[1]

At the 53rd International Ski Congress in July 2022, the IPC transferred responsibility of para-alpine skiing to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation.[2]
