Achensee Winter Trail Running Camp
The Achensee Winter Trail Running Camp from 18 to 20 December 2026 invites you to experience the thrill of trail running in winter. You will tackle snow-covered paths, icy sections, and varied terrain, all framed by the dramatic peaks of the Karwendel and Rofan mountains. Along the way, you will refine your running technique, build sure-footedness and stability, and learn how to expertly read winter conditions. Designed for both beginners and seasoned trail runners, the camp pairs guided winter runs with strength training, recovery sessions, and expert advice on gear, weather assessment, and route safety. A special highlight is the "From Dark to Light" run: Equipped with headtorches, you will head out before dawn to chase the sunrise across Lake Achensee.
