IVV-Europiade
European Hiking Olympiad in Waidring
At the end of May 2024, the PillerseeTal will be the venue for the 7th European Hiking Olympiad. Around 1,500 participants from over 20 nations will explore the region's hiking network over three days and hike as hard as their feet can take them. Because hiking is still one of the most popular sports among our summer guests. As with the permanent hiking trails of the IVV (International Volkssport Verband), the same applies to the European Hiking Olympics: anyone can take part! With a purchased start card, you can take part in the advertised hikes - thanks to different distances - without any pressure to perform.
