Dachsteinlauf 40 km Classic & Skating - Alternative route

Closed

The 40-kilometer competition takes you through the plateau of Ramsau with 380 m in altitude.

Every year in mid-January, the Ramsau am Dachstein World Cup cross-country skiing stadium is transformed into a hot spot for the hobby cross-country skiing scene. The Dachstein Run is a popular cross-country race for ambitious hobby cross-country skiers - every winter there is a fight for every meter and every second. On Saturday, the 10 kilometer and 42 kilometer competitions in skating technique are on the program, followed by 10 kilometer and 42 kilometer competitions in classic technique on Sunday.
