61st Hochfügen Rope Race
United by tradition
To mark the end of the season, it’s time to team up on the rope once again!
On 11 April 2027, the final day of the winter season, the traditional Hochfügen Rope Race returns. Team spirit, skill and plenty of fun will once again take centre stage – making for a memorable end to the ski season in Hochfügen.
Starting at 9:30 am on Waidoffen piste 11, both the children’s and adults’ rope races will get underway. Three skiers, connected by a rope, tackle the giant slalom course together – coordination, rhythm and, above all, teamwork are what count.
Whether taking part or cheering from the side of the course, the Rope Race brings together families, friends and winter sports enthusiasts. With great atmosphere, music and genuine Hochfügen spirit, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the final day of the season together.
How the Rope Race works
Each team consists of three skiers connected by a rope. Together, they tackle a giant slalom course. It’s not individual performance that counts, but how well the team works together – speed, timing and mutual trust make all the difference.
That’s exactly what makes this traditional race so special, creating exciting runs and plenty of entertainment along the course year after year.
