One of the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps
The North - The race
A real challenge for the winter sports enthusiast!
2026 marks the fifth anniversary of the spectacular race on the north run of the Schlossalm in Gastein. The route from the Hohe Scharte to the valley station of the Schlossalm is considered one of the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps. The "wild race" in super-G style covers 1440 metres in altitude. It takes enormous strength and stamina in the thighs to be cheered on by the fans at the finish line at the Weitmoserin after around 6 minutes.
