Rofan ascent - vertical race

Description

The legendary Rofan night ascent is entering a new era. As the "Rofan Ascent - Vertical Race," the event becomes part of an exciting format that combines tried-and-true tradition with fresh energy. Ski tourers can look forward to the familiar spirit and thrilling challenges.

• Race number collection: Race numbers can be collected upon presentation of a registration confirmation from 08:30 to 11:30 at the valley station of the Rofan cable car. Participants with a combined ticket will use the same race number for both race days (only one pick-up is required). Each participant will receive two race numbers: one for the thigh and one for the rucksack.
• Cable car ride: Ascent with the Rofan cable car from 08.30
• The descent on skis via the Rotspitz downhill run to the start must be completed by 12.45 at the latest. The starting point can only be reached via the ski slope, as the ascent from the valley station is not possible due to the current snow conditions.
• Start time & route: The race begins on Saturday. The starting point is located on the plateau below the former Buchauer Alm (1,340m). From there, participants will climb 490 metres of elevation on a groomed slope to the top station of the Rofan cable car. Detailed route information is available at maps.achensee.com.
• Award ceremony: The award ceremony will take place approximately 30 minutes after the end of the Vertical Race, during which trophies will be presented to the winners.
• From 14.00: Pasta party in the huts on the Rofan.  
• Raffle prize drawing.
• Descent with the Rofan cable car until 17.00.

Join us and continue the tradition of night skiing in Rofan in a new version. Basically, anyone who wants to can participate – no accreditation or license is required.
