The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1966 were held in South America from 4–14 August at Portillo, Chile.[1][2][3][4] To this day, it remains the only alpine world championships contested in the southern hemisphere. It took place well out of the established season, nearly five months before the first World Cup season, which began in early January 1967. Assignment came at the FIS-Congress at Athens in May 1963,[5] but West Germany, Switzerland, and Austria voted against. The French team won seven of the eight individual titles, seven silver medals, and sixteen of the 24 medals.
