Which country hosted the first FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1931?

Switzerland hosted the first FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1931.

The inaugural championships were held in Mürren, Switzerland, in February 1931. The program featured downhill and slalom, and the races established a recurring international championship for alpine skiing under the Fédération Internationale de Ski, commonly known as FIS.

The first championships were held before alpine skiing entered the Winter Olympics. Alpine events made their Olympic debut at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936, where the combined competition was contested. The world championships later expanded to include giant slalom and super-G, while parallel and team formats were added in the modern era. The event is sometimes confused with the first FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, which began in 1925.
