First time Salzkammergut Trophy victory for France: Thomas Dietsch (Gewiss-Bianchi) wins the 209 km extreme distance! Dietsch was from the very beginning among the top bikers before he was able to break away after 70 km. Ondrej Fojtik from Team "Toyota Kellys” was holding for a long time the fifth position - but during the second part of the race he increased his speed leaving some bikers behind. Stefan Danowski (Trenga De Team) was second for a long time - however at the very last climb the strong Czech biker pulled head.

New! Kellys Dachstein track

newsbild

The Dachstein is the "boundary-post" of three states which means the course leads you through Styria, Salzburg and Upper Austria. The signposted course around this mountain landmark of the Salzkammergut is for sure one of the most spectacular tour of the Eastern Alps.
The course leads from the town center of St. Agatha to Bad Aussee, along the Salza storage lake towards the Viehberg Alp, via Gröbming through the Enns valley to Ramsau, it continues to Filzmoos und Annaberg and via Gosau back to Bad Goisern. Ideal for sporty bikers in a three days leg.
Besides the 182 kilometer "Original Course", there is now also a new 270 kilometer long extreme version sign posted in both directions. The "Kellys Dachstein loop" is technically more challenging and leads every now and then to the original course. So this is ideal for biker groups of different levels.

The Tourism Service Salzkammergut offers a package deal including three nights, luggage transfer, a detailed description of the tours and Salzkammergut MTB Ticket starting at Euro 159,-

The black T-Shirts for the finisher of the 208,7 kilometer extreme distance have already a long tradition at the Salzkammergut Trophy. However this year for the first time we also offer DNF T-Shirts in two different versions!

The stopwatch symbolizes that a participant was either not able to meet one of the three time limits or the time limit of 16 hours was exceeded.

All bikers who have to quite the race due to a defect receive a DNF T-Shirt with a screw wrench. Saving at least their biker's honour.
