VenedigerRUSH
May 15-16, 2025: As a team from Salzburg to the Großvenediger
The unique sporting triathlon in the Salzburg region. On the firts day, we start in Grödig, just outside the state capital, and on the second day, we celebrate together at the summit of the 3,666-meter-high Großvenediger. The plan: 140 kilometers by road bike, a mountain run to the snow line, and finally, the ascent to the summit with touring skis. Spring in the Alps is a time of great contrasts. While the valleys are already shining in all the colors of spring, the higher elevations offer perfect ski touring conditions. We take advantage of this contrast for a unique project: the VenedigerRUSH.
