Ready for your ultimate ski challenge?

“Ski your limit” is the slogan that perfectly describes one of the most demanding ski circuits of the winter – and its key figures speak for themselves: 65 kilometres of downhill runs, 32 lifts and 12,400 vertical metres.
The Skicircus circuit in the Home of Lässig can be completed by athletic skiers in around 6 hours – a short lunch break not included.
Challenge accepted?

This challenge clearly focuses on athletic performance. Extended stops at one of the many rustic mountain huts along the route, dreamy summit moments or relaxed sunbathing are best saved for another ski day – because for this ski marathon, 32 lifts between Saalbach Hinterglemm, Leogang and Fieberbrunn must be conquered.

Terms and conditions for the contest apply

Winners will be notified in writing.

  • If you aim to complete the Trophy in 1 or 2 days, remember that you’ll be traveling between 3 ski areas, and for the transitions between areas, you may need to use public transport (bus or car). Keep this in mind, especially if you need to return to your starting point.
  • Make sure to allow plenty of time for returning to your starting point. Connecting lifts between and within the ski areas may have different operating hours, and there could be waiting times.

    You can start from any location within the ALPIN CARD network.

  • The 10 selected lifts are spread across the entire ALPIN CARD area, with routes connecting via blue and red slopes. Black slopes can be avoided.
  • Ski according to your ability and fitness level. Be sure to allow enough time to fully enjoy the ALPIN CARD Top 10 Trophy.
  • If your body calls for a break or a snack, take it! There are plenty of cozy huts and restaurants in the ski areas, inviting you to rest and refuel.
  • The challenge can only be completed when all cable cars are operational — this is especially important to consider during the pre- and post-season.

Once you have successfully completed the ALPIN CARD Top 10 Trophy, you will receive your gift instantly in digital form via the Skiline app.
From the 2025/26 winter season onwards, the only valid proof of completion will be to press the 'Receive your award' button in the Skiline app in front of the cashier.
