Ski races have a long tradition at the Arlberg, but this is without a doubt one of the most spectacular races during the winter season.
The “White Ring” in Lech/Zürs on
18 January 2014 represents a spectacular race of a different kind. Up to
1,000 participants will assemble at an
altitude of 2,337 on the Rüfikopf for the
mass start. 22 kilometres of pistes and a difference in altitude of 5,500 metres lie before them.
When
Olympic and World Champion Patrick Ortlieb declared the inaugural white ring race in 2006 nobody suspected how this race would evolve into an
historic and cult event.
To warm up, the
White Party - offering a fantastic entertainment programme - will be held on the eve of the race, while the White Night will be celebrated in various nightclubs in
Lech and Zürs on the night after the race.
