Abstract:	Die FIS Alpine Ski‐Weltmeisterschaft 2003 in St. Moritz wurde von den Organisatoren und einem grossen Teil der Bevölkerung als Chance wahrgenommen, die Region einer breiten Öffentlichkeit als Wintersportort der Extraklasse darzustellen. Einen wichtigen Faktor spielte dabei die einmalige Land‐schaft des Oberengadins. Ziel war, den Eingriff in Natur‐ und Landschaft zu minimieren und ein nach‐haltiges Projekt durchzufhren. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt auf, inwiefern und mit welchen Methoden dieses Ziel erreicht wurde. Dabei werden folgende Fragestellungen diskutiert: Welche Methoden der Umweltplanung wurden bei der Organisation der Ski WM 2003 angewandt? Welche Landschaftsveränderungen wurden durch die WM 2003 verursacht? Welche Teilaspekte der Umweltplanung bewährten sich und welche Optimierungen wären noch möglich? The organisers and a large part of the local community saw the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2003 (WSC) in St. Moritz as an opportunity to present the region to a wide audience as a winter holiday resort with outstanding qualities, the unique landscape of the Oberengadin playing a significant role. An important goal was to minimize encroachments on nature and the landscape, and to realize the project in a sustainable way. This article describes to what extent and by which methods the goals were attained. The following questions are discussed: What environmental planning methods were used by the WSC 2003 organisers? What landscape changes were caused by the WSC 2003? Which aspects of the environmental planning were satisfying, and what improvements could be made in future projects?
