NEW: KidsCross Alpbachtal
Attention speed fans! Form the coming winter 2024/25 the “KidsCross Alpbachtal” at the Muldenlift on the Wiedersberger Horn will be a new highlight for all fans of fast edges. Get in your crouch, get ready and off you go on a speedy adventure – over the first steep turns and through the snow tunnel, where you will be cheered on by our mascot “Lauser”. Then it's off over the lower steep bends and bumps, where it's time to shoot for the finish line. Right next to the "KidsCross Alpbachtal" is the SpeedCheck, where you can measure your speed and then download a winner's photo.
