From time to time you can observe alpine ibex in the wild, as they roam the mountains of St. Anton am Arlberg. Every powerful movement of these self-confident animals seems extraordinarily light-footed. Participants of the new "Arlberger Steinbock Challenge" on 24th August 2019 will have to follow their example - as this exhausting tour will take even the most experienced bikers to their limits. A combination of power and endurance is needed to take the athletes over 57.6 kilometres in distance and almost 2,500 metres in elevation difference to the Putzenalpe. Verwall and Moostal Valleys. Finally, they must head up to the mountain station of the Rendlbahn, the highest point of the route at the foot of the Zwölferkopf (2,069 metres), where panoramic views compensate for the arduous climb. The race begins and ends in the pedestrian zone in St. Anton am Arlberg.
