Ascent of the Zwieselalm

Start at the Panoramajet Ski Lift. Destination is the summit of the mountain.

Tourers come from near and far to tackle the 760 meters of altitude difference after the slopes close, armed with headlamps and rucksacks. Just as important as the sporting activity is the get-together at the Sonnenalm. The "Kasspatzen-All You Can Eat" included in the entry fee is well deserved by the tired athletes. Chatting and sharing a meal with like-minded people is the relaxed part of the event. It is traditionally celebrated extensively at the Sonnenalm, the finish of the event. To ensure that nobody has to take any risks on the final descent from the Zwieselalm afterwards, the Dachstein West management organizes a free downhill shuttle service with the 8-seater gondola lift.

There are no classes or rankings for the Zwieselalm ascent. However, all participants will be timed for a final average ranking. Great prizes are up for grabs for those who come closest to the average time between the fastest and the last time. And in keeping with tradition, the organizers will give a wreath of crackers to the person who finishes the race in the best time!

Due to the large number of participants every year, there is a starting limit of 120 people. You can register online at: https: //time2win.at/event/846
