Triathlon in the heart of the Alps from 28 June to 01 July 2025
Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee
A fantastic backdrop, a challenging course, thousands of enthusiasts along the route, top stars from all over the world – these are just a few attributes that describe the Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee.
The competitions Aquabike, Challenge Women, Aquathlon & Challenge Junior as well as the middle distance triathlon as a relay competition, which extend over the entire weekend, round off the family-friendly Challenge weekend. Many of the athletes also used this event as an extension of their vacation. This way, many athletes and their families stayed with us in Kaiserwinkl the days before and after the event.
More info about the Challenge
We ask all Challenge participants to be considerate of the STVO during the training preparations in the Kaiserwinkl region. We especially ask cyclists to reduce their speed when passing through towns and villages, or when passing through blind spots, in order to prevent injuries and accidents.
