The Stadium XC Trail is the heart of the trail network in Ramsau am Dachstein and is approx. 6 km long.

Around the WM-Langlaufstadion in Ramsau am Dachstein, the Stadionloipe forms the centerpiece of the cross-country skiing network of Ramsau am Dachstein. Between the BILLA junction east of the stadium and the Kreitseiler junction west of the stadium, this approximately 6 km long trail section can be prepared early in winter using snow-farming depots and, if necessary, artificial snowmaking. The Stadionloipe thus guarantees cross-country skiing opportunities for several months, even when natural snow levels are low.

The Stadionloipe is a wide, groomed trail with dedicated directional tracks for both skating and classic styles in each direction. Within the stadium itself, there is a broad skating loop as well as several practice tracks for classic cross-country skiing. After initial practice sessions in the stadium, this wide trail serves as an excellent "first outing" for cross-country skiing beginners.

If the stadium is your starting point for cross-country skiing fun, the Stadionloipe provides direct access to the following trails:

Kulmdörfl-Loipe
Standardloipe Ost
Standardloipe West
Herold-Loipe

More information

Parking available at the "Ramsau Zentrum" next to the stadium.

From the cross-country skiing stadium, you can choose to ski either east or west first. If you first head east you pass the ski jump and the trail leads downhill with a slight gradient to the road crossing and the turning point at the BILLA supermarket (connection to Kulmdörfl-Loipe and Standardloipe Ost). From the BILLA turning point, the trail leads slightly uphill back towards the stadium. Passing the ski jump and the Waldschenke, you ski through the tunnel onto the western part of this trail. This leads you up a climb to the western turning point of the trail at Haus Katharina, directly at the Kreitseiler junction (connection to Standardloipe West and Herold-Loipe). Right next to Haus Katharina, the final stretch takes you up a short, crisp climb and then down a sporty descent back into the stadium. Less experienced skiers are advised to take the same route back to the stadium on the right-hand track facing the stadium.
