Ideal
Requirements
The FIS homologated slope 8 is only accessible for race training, secured with nets, equipped with launch ramps and tower cannons including water connections for watering. In other words, ideal conditions for intensive and effective training. From 2025, additional snow farming will ensure optimum snow conditions so that you can always rely on perfect slopes.
Flexible
Training
With flexible training options due to different time slots, excellent accessibility of only 20 km from the Zillertal highway exit to the lift entrance as well as extensive accommodation options on site and in the valley, nothing stands in the way of a perfect race infrastructure at training-friendly altitudes.
