Der Weisse Ring – The Race

Der Weisse Ring – The Race in Lech Zürs boasts international cult status. Every year, 1000 ambitious winter sports athletes compete in this thrilling race, every moment of which is closely followed by spectators alongside the course and at the finish line. Meanwhile, locals and guests listen to the race call as skiers of different age groups compete for a spot on the podium.

Pepi Strobl, Harti Weirather, Tom Stiansen and Patrick Ortlieb have all participated in the legendary ski race in the past. In addition, Andreas Goldberger, Rainer Schönfelder and David Coulthard have also strapped on their skis to experience the Arlberg from its most challenging side.

The plaque, which can be found at the Schlegelkopfbahn valley station, commemorates all winners of Der Weisse Ring race and lists the course record and team rankings. In honour of Sepp Bildstein (12.02.1891 – 14.05.1970), recognised expert for international skiing and founder of Der Weisse Ring ski circuit, a team classification known as the "Bildstein Trophy" was introduced for Der Weisse Ring – The Race.
