EventTip | White Ring - The Race

The traditional and legendary ski and snowboard race on the Arlberg.

by Timo Macvan 01/17/2023
One of the most legendary ski races in the Alps takes place on Saturday, 21.01.2023. The White Ring - The race is a traditional ski and snowboard race in which all participants have to complete a lap around Lech am Arlberg as quickly as possible. On 22 downhill kilometers with an altitude difference of 5500m spread over six lifts, all ambitious winter sports enthusiasts can put their skills to the test.

The circuit, or white ring, starts in Lech, where you take the Rüffikopfbahn up to Zürs on two more lifts. From there, you can take the Seekopfbahn and the Madloch to Zug. Once in Zug, the race route leads to Oberlech and the ring closes with a descent to Lech to the starting point and finish of the white ring.

A race for everyone has been held on the White Ring in Lech am Arlberg since 2006, with around 1000 starting places available. On top of this, a few extra starting places are offered in combination with hotel accommodation and for company events. The prices are €99 for individuals and €150 in combination with an overnight stay in a hotel. A day pass for Lech & Zürs is included in all ticket categories.

As a snowboarder, I will also be taking part in the adventure and am hoping for a bit of reinforcement and competition in my discipline! As of today, only 24 snowboarders have registered, whereas a whopping 1122 skiers have already signed up. However, it is currently only possible to purchase combo tickets and company packages. More detailed information and the opportunity to register at short notice can be found here.
