St. Anton am Arlberg, Tyrol: Springtime skiing and season finale 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many participants hesitate for a second or two after the mass start on Valluga Ridge above St. Anton am Arlberg, while the most ambitious are already gunning for a podium position. \u201cThe White Thrill\u201d returns in April 2024 for the 25th time.

Ride the gondola up to the top for a final time, soak up the fabulous view. Take a deep breath, before the bindings click. Pulses quicken, a shot is fired – the \u201cThe White Thrill” anniversary event in St. Anton am Arlberg\/Tyrol begins. The most legendary downhill race in the Alps will demand every ounce of strength from its intrepid participants for the 25th time on 20th April 2024, when 555 international skiers, snowboarders and telemark enthusiasts hurtle simultaneously down unprepared slopes to the valley after a mass start at Vallugagrat Ridge. The fastest skiers take less than eight minutes to cover the seven-and-a-half-kilometre course with 1,300 metres in altitude difference. Throngs of spectators, however, cheer everyone on who crosses the finish line – irrespective of whether they are a sweat-soaked medal contender, or leisurely skier in fancy dress. Impressive footage of this iconic Austrian ski race is featured on this video<\/a>, while all participant information can be found at www.stantonamarlberg.com<\/a> or der-weisse-rausch.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lungs on fire and pushing personal limits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last weekend of the ski season in St. Anton am Arlberg traditionally belongs to hardcore riders and enthusiastic spectators. \u201cThe White Thrill\u201d is basically a race in which everyone can compete – but even experienced downhill skiers reach their limits when they hurtle down into the valley from the “monster” and highest point of the ski area, Valluga Ridge, together with several hundred fellow daredevils. Valuable seconds can be won by finding the right position at the mass start-line, before the arduous interim ascent on the aptly called \u201cSchmerzensberg – Pain Mountain\u201d sets racers\u2019 lungs on fire. \u201cNo matter whether you’re a professional athlete or hobby skier, everyone pushes themselves to the limit here,” says German multiple winner Florian Holzinger, describing the special appeal of the \u201cWhite Thrill”. The downhill race begins on 25th April 2024 at 17 hrs on Vallugagrat Ridge above St. Anton am Arlberg. Plucky children aged eleven to 16 years start their shortened version a little earlier at 16.30 hrs above the Senn Hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consummate flagship for the ” global village” of St. Anton am Arlberg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism Director Martin Ebster sees the “White Thrill” as the kind of event “that perfectly befits St. Anton am Arlberg”. It’s in keeping with our long-standing tradition of professional skiing and yet designed for everyone to take part. “There’s no other event like it in the world.” As usual, Ebster will moderate at the season finale live from the valley in St. Anton am Arlberg. Speaking about the significance of this iconic race for the destination, he says: “St. Anton is recognised as being one of the most sports-oriented regions in the Alps – in both summer and winter. The \u201cWhite Thrill\u201d may seem like a pretty crazy event, but it has developed into a consummate flagship for our internationally acclaimed mountain village. Nobody expected this turn of events 25 years ago, but the huge rush of registrations to take part bears witness to its appeal. As a region, this is something we can be proud of! “der-weisse-rausch.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best of springtime skiing until 21st April 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the \u201cWhite Thrill\u201d attracts international athletes and spectators to the western outreaches of Tyrol for the 25th time, springtime skiing in St. Anton am Arlberg is still at its best. With sun-drenched and superbly groomed slopes<\/a>, the Tyrolean mountain village and its hosts welcome holidaymakers to enjoy their last turns of the winter season right up to and including 21st April 2024. For those wanting to spend a few days in St. Anton am Arlberg, recently named “Best Tourism Village”, the climate-friendly and comfortable train journey to the highest ICE train station in the world located directly at the village centre, is well worth looking into. The new 8-seater Albonabahn I gondola in Stuben, which can be reached from the Alpe Rauz hub, assured yet more comfort from this winter onwards, transporting guests to Albona in weatherproof conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
