Serwas! This is one for mountain lovers! In 2026, two route options are available: the longer mixed terrain route, which goes all over Austria’s most epic climbs, around breathtaking lakes, starting and finishing in Graz. The new shorter round is all tarmac roads leading racers through central Austria’s mountains in an 800km loop, the perfect weekend adventure. We are looking forward to seeing new racers challenging our veterans!
