The tour

Since the Nordic Ski World Cup in 1999, Ramsau am Dachstein has become a regular feature on the FIS World Cup Calendar - Nordic Combined. Over 65 athletes will compete here to gain the sought after world cup points. 

In December, the world's top nordic sports athletes will compete on Ramsau am Dachstein's ski jumping hill and cross-country trails. There will be 2 Gundersen Competitions happening. These will each feature a ski jump from the HS 98 ski jumping hill and a 10 km cross-country run. 

Turn-by-turn directions
From the stadium it goes out and left up the first ascent and past the Waldschenke towards the jump stadium. After a sharp bend further uphill you will reach the highest point of the trail. Now there is a rapid descent and there is a short loop out towards the west. From the turning point back towards the stadium, you make another 180 ° turn halfway there and walk below the descent over to the reservoir. A short loop along the bank and over the last crisp climb and the cross-country ski run back to the stadium. That was 2.5 km - 40 vertical meters - best time!
