PAID CONTENT: The Raiffeisen Gastein Classics will ring in the Salzburg cross-country skiing winter on December 14, 2024.

Nestled between mighty three-thousand-meter peaks, the snow-sure high valley of Sportgastein at 1.600 meters above sea level offers the perfect backdrop for the Ski Classics Challengers competition over 30 kilometers, with 2.000 euros prize money, as well as the competition over 15 kilometers, both in classic technique.

Cross-country skiers experience the atmosphere of the international long-distance skiing series Ski Classics, where the races take place, up close.

Optimal snow conditions from the beginning of December and the varied routes with moderate climbs and flat passages are ideal for a first test of strength at the start of the season.

In recent years, the event has attracted numerous top athletes – including cross-country skiing legend Dario Cologna. In addition, the Felsentherme Bad Gastein offers participants the perfect regeneration, and the attractive supporting program makes the race weekend a perfect opportunity for a short vacation in the Gastein Valley. Three days with an overnight stay, starting place, trail fee, equipment test, and much more from € 260.-
