Stage description

Stage 1: Schladming – Dachstein Türlwandhütte – Schladming 67 km /3100 vm

The first stage starts at 10 a.m. on the main square, the first 3 km are neutralized until the end of Schladming. After a moderate climb and a short descent, we reach Lodenwalker. Then the 13 km long ascent to the Türlwandhütte at 1.690 m begins with the first feedingstation and the King/Queen of the mountain classification at the foot of the almost 3.000 m high Dachstein. It continues via the terrace of the Türlwandhütte over an 8 km long descent with numerous single tracks down towards Ramsau. The next challenge is the short but steep ascent to the Rittisberg. Then follows the long descent with a short climb to the second aid station in Pichl at km 48. Up to the second feedingstation at km 60 there is another 5 km long ascent with a fast descent. From the Landalm there are still 200 vertical meters to be overcome before it goes down over the Planai to the finish in the stadium.
