50 kilometres across the ski area

Ski up and down the three three-thousand-metre ski mountains in a single day: The programme is ambitious, but doable. Even more, it marks the baptism of fire and the absolute highlight for you as a true Sölden fan.

This is how it works:

Start at the valley station of the Giggijochbahn, via the Giggijoch to the Rettenbach glacier and the first BIG3 experience on the Schwarzer Schneide (3,340 m), continue to the Tiefenbach glacier and the second BIG3 highlight the Tiefenbachkogl (3,250 m). From Tiefenbach you return via the Rettenbach Glacier to the valley station of the Gaislachkoglbahn. Up to the third BIG3, the Gaislachkogl (3,048 m).

Use the following lifts within one day, ideally in this order:

• C30 Giggijochbahn
• C35 Silberbrünnl
• D51 Einzeiger
• D53 Gletscherexpress
• E61 + 62 Schwarze Schneidbahn I + II
• E66 Tiefenbachbahn
• E65 Seiterkar
• A10 + 11 Gaislachkoglbahn
• A14 Wasserkar

By registering for the Sölden Challenge and entering your ski pass number, your rally through the ski area will be tracked automatically.

Do you have enough power in your calves? With a difference in altitude of 1,890 m and a total length of around 15 km, the LONGEST RUN is the ultimate downhill challenge and the longest run in the Sölden ski area. The start is at 3,250 m and leads over a challenging course to the finish at the valley station of the Gaislachkoglbahn at 1,360 m.

This is how it works:

The start is registered by scanning your ski pass at the Schwarze Schneid Photopoint. At the finish of the downhill run (end of piste 9), scan the QR code on the information board to successfully complete the competition.

This is where it really gets going! With an altitude difference of 1,688 m and a total distance of approx. 10 km, the LONGEST RUN GAISLACHKOGL demands everything from you. The start of the ski downhill is at 3,058 m and ends directly at the valley station of the Gaislachkoglbahn at 1,360 m.

READY - SET - GO

This is how it works:

As soon as your ski pass has been scanned and the start gate opens, the camera and timing are activated. You can watch your race afterwards for free at soelden.com/winterchallenge, download it and share it with friends.

MIXED RACE combines all the fun on an action-packed course. Here, several alpine disciplines and obstacles are shaken together (not stirred!) and served ice-cold. Slalom poles, steep turns and a cinematic jump await you. So put your back into it! Because your ride will be filmed and your running time will be recorded.

Can you blow everyone away with your squat? Then show us! In the SPEED competition only one thing counts: speed. So make sure you have the perfect racing squat. A sensor will measure your speed exactly and a speed photo will record your speedy ride.

Do you ride like you're on rails? Then show us! The RIESENSLALOM is great fun for alpine fans. Set up as a parallel competition, you can also prove your skills individually. Either way, each run is filmed individually and all run times are measured separately.
