W\u00f6rthersee EXTREM 2026 – 62 km of winter hiking for the toughest of hikers<\/h1>\n

On the night of 10 to 11<\/strong><\/span> January 2026 <\/strong>at midnight sharp, the starting signal for one of the toughest but also most fascinating winter hikes in Austria is given in Velden Kurpark: W\u00f6rthersee EXTREM.
62 kilometers, 1,800 vertical meters, four refreshment stops – and an unforgettable adventure around the wintry W\u00f6rthersee.<\/p>\n

Magical start in the witching hour<\/h3>\n

The start is in the heart of Velden, surrounded by fire bowls, lights and hot tea. While the last New Year’s resolutions are sunk into the lake, the tension mounts: midnight, witching hour – and off we go. The route leads counter-clockwise along the W\u00f6rthersee circular hiking trail, through quiet forests, past snow-covered shores and with a view of the glittering winter scenery. <\/p>\n

Strengthening & motivation at four refreshment stations<\/h3>\n

If you persevere kilometer after kilometer, you will be rewarded with warmth every now and then:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Restaurant Karawankenblick<\/strong>: first rest after the descent from the Pyramidenkogel – with hot food and drinks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Gasthaus Pisl in Krumpendorf<\/strong> and Thad\u00e4ushof in Sekull<\/strong>: further stops to warm up, enjoy and take a deep breath.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All four stations are heated and offer hot food, drinks and a motivating atmosphere. Anyone who has to stop will be brought back safely from there. <\/p>\n

    The goal: honor, pride & pasta at Wrannissimo<\/h3>\n

    Those who reach the Kurpark in Velden again after 62 kilometers and 1,800 meters of elevation gain can officially call themselves W\u00f6rthersee EXTREM finishers – rewarded with a medal, certificate, souvenir photo and a well-deserved finisher pasta in the Wrannissimo restaurant.<\/p>\n
