The event

A one-of-a-kind challenge. Established in 2024, the Goasleitn Trophy hosts one of Europe’s most exciting vertical races at the Rohreralm in Fieberbrunn, Tyrol, Austria, each year.

The race involves completing 100 meters on the world’s steepest grassy slope, with an incline that reaches up to 100% — with the help of a fixed rope in the most challenging sections — and then ringing the cowbell at the finish line to stop the clock.

The organizers have created three categories for the nearly one hundred specialists at the start: individual, relay, and junior (for those under 14). It’s a playful test of endurance that brings together generations of athletes and fans of all-out uphill sprints.

Technique, explosive strength, and determination. These are the ingredients needed to complete the challenge set by the organizers and win the “Pokal” trophy.
