Every year, a colourful crowd gathers for the big Stefani horse-drawn sleigh race in St. Johann in Tirol. The races start at 1 p.m. on 26 December at the Lafferhof trotting track in St. Johann in Tirol. Once again, competitors will battle it out for the coveted winner's trophy – the yellow and black Stefani blanket.
A total of six trotting races await spectators. The top finishers from the first four trotting races will ultimately compete for victory. Further trotting races with top Austrian and international horses and a gallop race with riding horses round off this year's racing programme. In addition, guests will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Wilder Kaiser mountains and provided with hot food and drinks in the ‘Traberrast’ (trotting rest area).
