Event entdeckenOn the night of January 9th to 10th, 2027, the toughest participants will embark on a 62 km winter hike around Lake Wörthersee. Hotel Post Velden is the starting and finishing point for Wörthersee EXTREM.
On the night of January 9th to 10th, 2027, precisely at midnight, the starting signal will be given in the Kurpark of Velden am Wörthersee, Carinthia, for one of Austria’s toughest, yet most fascinating winter hikes: Wörthersee EXTREM.
62 kilometers, 1,800 meters of elevation gain, four refreshment stations – and an unforgettable adventure around the wintry Lake Wörthersee.
Magical Start at the Witching Hour
The start is in the heart of Velden, surrounded by fire bowls, lights, and hot tea. As the last New Year’s resolutions are cast into the lake, the tension rises: midnight, the witching hour – and off they go. The Wörthersee EXTREM route leads counter-clockwise along the Wörthersee circular hiking trail, through quiet forests, past snowy shores, and with views of the glittering winter scenery.
Refreshment & Motivation at Four Aid Stations
Those who persevere kilometer after kilometer will be rewarded with warmth again and again along the way:
- Restaurant Karawankenblick: first rest stop after the descent from Pyramidenkogel – with hot food and drinks.
- Klagenfurt (Stocksportanlage): second breakfast to re-energize.
- Gasthaus Pisl in Krumpendorf and Thadäushof in Sekull: additional stops to warm up, enjoy, and catch your breath.
All four stations are heated, offering warm food, drinks, and a motivating atmosphere. Anyone who has to drop out will be safely brought back from there.
The Goal: Honor, Pride & Pasta at Wrannissimo
Those who reach the Kurpark in Velden again after 62 kilometers and 1,800 meters of elevation gain can officially call themselves a Wörthersee EXTREM Finisher – rewarded with a medal, certificate, souvenir photo, and a well-deserved finisher pasta at Restaurant Wrannissimo.
