    Back to the Glemmride Festival

From July 10 to 12, the Rookies Cup returns to Saalbach Hinterglemm in Austria. This year, however, there’s a change: the race will take place on a new course. So this time, it won’t be on the Proline, but for the first time on a specially prepared race track, created just for this event. Registration is now open! 


Saalbach is calling

Saalbach Hinterglemm has been a fixture on the Rookies Cup calendar for years - and for good reason. The well-known bike resort in the Austrian Alps not only offers perfect infrastructure, but also genuine world-class terrain. With its mix of sporting ambition and holiday flair, Saalbach is the perfect all-round package for riders, families and fans.

A new Track

Although the Pro Line is a true legend in German-speaking countries, it won’t be available this year due to the construction of the gondola lift. As a result, the organizers have spared no effort and are quickly putting together a race course specially designed for this event. The reason was simple: the Rookies Cup absolutely had to be part of the Glemmride, as the young riders and their companions bring exactly the right vibe to this top-tier festival. The venue will be at the end of Hinterglemm, as the finish line will be located right at the valley station of the Westgipfelbahn.
 

Register now!

Registration for the third round is now open - and as always, it pays to be quick! Saalbach is one of the highlights of the season and offers young racers the perfect opportunity to put their skills to the test. So: secure your starting place, prepare your bike and off you go to the Alps!
