Snow spectacle instead of soccer - that's what you'll get in winter 2025 at Klagenfurt's Wörthersee Stadium! The 30,000 spectator arena will be transformed into a unique big-air event. As is well known, the Freeski and Snowboard World Cup will be held here from January 1st.

In other words: from December 9, a 128-metre-long and 45-metre-high ski jump will be set up where the grass is usually visible. It even rises 15 meters above the stadium roof - a perfect stage for the stars' stunts!

First and foremost Anna Gasser. The two-time Olympic champion is looking forward to the spectacular home event like a little child. "We will win many young people over to our sport with this competition! I want to stand on the podium in front of my fans!" hopes the 32-year-old from Millstatt, whose boyfriend Clemens Millauer (Upper Austria) will of course also be there.

Carinthian youngsters want to be there
Eric Dovjak and Christina Holzfeind from Carinthia could also be there. Matej Svancer (Slbg) is Austria's hope among the freestyle skiers.
