Newly Revitalized Cross-country Skiing In Ramsau. “Dachsteinlauf” Celebrates Premiere With ORF Star
Sporting premiere in Ramsau, Styria: The new “Dachsteinlauf” will take place for the first time from January 12th to 14th. The unique major event for Nordic athletes from all over the world succeeds the legendary “Tour de Ramsau”. This year the organizers have presented a new concept with some attractive changes. A new route and various competitions for different target groups will attract hundreds of participants to the upper Ennstal. None other than ORF star Philipp Jelinek, known from the TV show “Fit with Philipp”, will ensure an optimal warm-up on Saturday. Jelinek is himself an enthusiastic hobby cross-country skier and will also be at the start of the Dachstein Run.
In addition to four exciting races, participants can also expect a great supporting program. A special highlight will be the Euroloppet European Championships 2024, which will be run on the new route. All information about the program and registration is available online at www.dachsteinlauf.at . First and foremost, the organizers around the Schladming-Dachstein Tourism Association and the WSV Ramsau want to take up the basic idea of cross-country skiing as part of the realignment. The aim is to encourage as many sports enthusiasts as possible to take part. Thanks to the wide-ranging supporting program with children's races and culinary pleasure runs as well as the various competitions, there is something for many cross-country skiers - whether professional, amateur athlete or nature lover. Anyone who wants to take part will find the right route. “The full enjoyment in one run” The participants can expect a lot of sporting action and also a new route with 42 kilometers on the perfectly prepared trails across the entire Ramsau plateau. The motto is: “The full enjoyment in one run”. For those new to competition and for teams, there is also a shorter round of 10 kilometers in length. The new “pleasure run” combines cross-country skiing with regional cuisine. Various dishes from local businesses can be tasted along a 5-kilometer route.
