Event · late March
Der Kreischer, the longest giant slalom in the world
At the end of the ski season, the whole of Kreischberg throws a party. At Der Kreischer, almost a thousand participants race in a single run from the Rosenkranzhöhe down to the valley. Anyone aged 10 or over can take part, on skis, a snowboard or anything else that slides. Fancy dress is half the fun, as there is a prize for the best outfit. Bands play at the huts along the course, and at the finish a water pool awaits anyone chasing the fastest time. Après-ski with live music follows at the valley station.
For children there is the Kids Kreischer. Spectators watch from the terraces of Eagle, Kreischbergwirt and Grillboden, among others. So far the event has been held every two years, most recently on 21 March 2026. You will find the next date and registration on the website.
