Nordic Combined Ski World Cup In Ramsau Am Dachstein: More Than 100 Athletes Taking Part

The best Nordic all-rounders in the world will meet again this winter in Ramsau am Dachstein. From December 15th to 16th, the combiners will stop here with two competitions each. More than 100 athletes are competing for important World Cup points in Ennstal, Styria. Due to the excellent snow conditions, you can run on the original World Cup course again this year . There is an early Christmas present for all spectators at the competitions: not only can you experience the fascination of Nordic combined up close, but you can also get in free. All information about the Nordic World Cup program in Ramsau am Dachstein is available online at www.schladming-dachstein.at/weltcupnordisch . ÖSV team wants to be on the podium in the home competitions The competitions at the 1999 World Cup venue have been a fixture in the Nordic Combined World Cup calendar for years, and the difficult cross-country trail in particular pushes the combined stars to their limits every year. After their World Cup premiere two years ago, the women are visiting Styria for the third time this year and are providing exciting races.

The Austrian combined athletes around Johannes Lamparter and Lisa Hirner want to be at the top of the podium in the exciting combined competitions with jumping from the Hillsize 98 ski jump and cross-country skiing competitions in the pursuit. With Paul Walcher and the World Cup medalist Franz Josef Rehrl, two Ramsau local heroes are at the start. There are a few new things this year: On Friday at 1:45 p.m. the men will first go to the 10 kilometer mass start, then at 5:00 p.m. there will be a night jump under floodlights. This year's cross-country skiing competition will be held on Saturday as a “compact competition” over 7.5 kilometers (formerly 10 kilometers in Gundersen). Center for Nordic skiing

The cross-country skiing region of Ramsau am Dachstein has long since established itself as a paradise for Nordic skiing. It is not for nothing that the place is considered the “training center of the world elite”. The best athletes from all over the world compete here year after year, and many of them have already completed numerous jumps and kilometers of cross-country ski trails in Ramsau during their preparation for the season. Last weekend, the three-day “Nordic Winter Opening”, one of the largest opening events for hobby cross-country skiers in Austria, took place.

With a total of 220 kilometers of trails in Ramsau am Dachstein, cross-country skiers will always find the perfect trail. 125 kilometers are dedicated to classic cross-country skiing and 95 kilometers to skating - freshly groomed every day. And new this year: A little southwest of the World Cup stadium, in the area of the reservoir, the “Kalis Cross Park” will soon be opening its doors for the first time. Cross-country skiers of all ages can explore a varied technical course here. It includes simple elements such as slalom, wave track or archway as well as steep curves or - probably the biggest challenge - a ski jump.
