In addition to individual categories in various classes, there is also a hotel ranking, where the best group of guests can bring the beautiful trophy back to the hotel, to be celebrated with a bottle of champagne from the hotel. Hosts also regularly participate in the race, including Sebastian Mayrhofer and World Champion Michael Walchhofer, in a separate hoteliers' class. Afterward, there is a sociable award ceremony for all participants in the World Cup Arena.

Mountain Hut Evening

Two rustic mountain huts adorn the center of Zauchensee, right across from our hotel. Every week, one of the two alpine restaurants hosts a traditional hut party with live music.
