Time flies and the 19th Salzkammergut Trophy is already history. With 5.222 starters at our various competitions – marathons with more than seven different distances, the SCOTT Junior Trophy, unicycle downhill as well as our brand new eMTB-Trophy epowered by Bosch – the 5.000 mark has been again clearly topped!

eMTB-Trophy epowered by Bosch - a hugh success

The first eMTB Trophy epowered by Bosch has been especially successful among the 60 participants. The course was 32.5 km long with 1.180 altitude difference.  With this competition not the whole distance was timed, but instead two steep climbs and one technically challenging trail in the valley were selected for timing.
