24 km or 47 km classic
The 24 / 47 km classic course really offers everything a trained classic runner could wish for. Tough climbs and descents, charming forest passages and the magnificent panorama of the Wetterstein and Karwendel mountains. The heart of the trail is the unique Plaikloipe, which rewards the runner after a challenging ascent with beautiful descents and magnificent views. The passages on the Panorama Trail and the Forest Trail are also a worthwhile insider tip for classic skiing enthusiasts.
The demanding classic course can be mastered either once or twice (47km) and is thus the supreme discipline of the biggest cross-country skiing classic in Austria.
21 km Skating
The 21 km skating course combines the most beautiful and sunniest skating sections of the Leutasch valley. Shortly after the start, you turn back towards Oberleutasch via the slightly ascending Lehnerschleife, run past the many spectators at the start and finish to the turnaround at the climbs in the Moos skating center and back to the finish via the Alpenbadloipe.
42 km Skating
On the 42 km skating course you run through the entire Leutasch high valley at 1130m above sea level. After the start, the field spreads out on the short climb to Lehner and the runners then pass the start/finish again in groups before heading down the valley to the head of the valley in Unterleutasch. From the lowest point of the course, the route now climbs steadily past the start/finish to the highest point in Moos, where there are two more short climbs to conquer with the skating centre before heading back down the valley via the new Alpenbadloipe to the finish.
10 km Fun Race FT
Die 10 km Strecke führt zum Start über nicht-anspruchsvolle Loipen in Richtung Oberleutasch, bevor in Moos umgekehrt wird. Die Strecke eignet sich aufgrund der Distanz und Leichtigkeit perfekt für Hobbysportler, die gerne mal an Wettkampfluft schnuppern wollen sowie für alle, die gerne gemeinsam mit Freunden einen tollen Tag mit ein wenig Renn-Feeling erleben möchte.
Event info for the Int. Ganghoferlauf
When you say Leutasch, you have to say Ganghofer: For over half a century, the Ganghoferlauf (founded in 1968)—Austria’s largest, oldest, and most popular fun run—has commemorated the adopted home of the Bavarian literary legend.
With over five decades of success and more than 50 memorable editions, this cross-country race has long been known far beyond the borders of Tyrol and is celebrating its 60th edition this year. From March 6, 2027, to March 7, 2027, countless amateur and professional athletes will once again take to the starting line together in Leutasch.
The Leutasch Ski Club, regional clubs, and countless volunteers are already looking forward to some truly memorable sporting moments.
The countdown is on—are you ready?
The 10 km Fun Race is primarily intended for recreational athletes, hobby athletes and teams, friends, and companies. Here, fun takes precedence over performance. Great prizes await the largest teams with the most finishers!
