Virtual Achensee cross-country ski challenge
Skating or classic technique, beginner or experienced skier: Cross-country skiing is a great form of exercise which boasts a wide array of benefits for your health. If you are an enthusiastic Nordic skier looking for a special challenge, join the virtual Achensee cross-country ski challenge which we run in cooperation xc-ski.de. Our motto is “it's the taking part that counts”. We offer two challenges where you can win fantastic prizes sponsored by our partners, ranging from private skiing lessons to stylish outdoor shirts. Curious? Get out on the trails already!
The first Achensee cross-country ski challenge last winter was a great success. We can hardly wait to start the second edition as soon as the snow conditions allow. In the next few weeks we will finalise all the details for you. Check back on this website to stay up to date!
In the meantime, feel free to read up on how participation works under "Things to know" or get inspired by last year's content at xc-ski.de. Build your anticipation and be ready for the next challenge!
