Austria's most extreme winter hike - that means 62 km and 1,800 m in the depths of winter! No matter if snow, storm or cold. The march is on. Take on this more than tough New Year's challenge!
The start is exactly at the witching hour on the night of January 4 to 5, 2025 in the middle of the Kurpark in Velden. Without stopping, you will actively run through the night until the first, long-awaited refreshment station with hot food and drinks awaits you at the Karawankenblick restaurant on the descent from the Pyramidenkogel. From there, it's a quick ride to Klagenfurt for a second breakfast. On the rest of the route, there are warm-up and refreshment stops at Gut Draßing in Krumpendorf and at Thadäushof in Sekull. When you reach the Kurpark in Velden again, you know 100% that you are a Wörthersee Extreme finisher.
