As far as organisation goes, the Salzkammergut Trophy is regarded as one of the best.

With over 4,000 participants taking part, only the hardiest take part in the Extreme Course, a 211km stretch over an altitude of 7,049m that takes you all over the alpine region of Salzkammergut.

It’s a UNESCO Heritage Site, so expect spectacular mountain top views over lakeside villages along the way. Once you’ve completed all, you can treat yourself to a well-deserved ice cold pint of Stiegl!

It’s also one of the cheaper events in enter – just €85 if you book now. Check out more about it here.
