GSIESERTAL LAUF: COURSE IS READY!
ECO-FRIENDLY CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

On 15th and 16th February the 37th edition of Gsiesertal Lauf
38 nations are present
There will also be many Italian roller skiers, including the World Champion Matteo Tanel
Sustainable event – cross-country skiers respect the environment 

In Gsiesertal everything is going according to the ‘master plan’ of the organising committee chaired by Walter Felderer. The course has been completed and the Gsiesertal Lauf will once again take place on the whole 42 km. All 36 editions have been organised without a cancellation so far, let’s say 37 editions with the next one on 15th and 16th February. 38 nations will be present to enjoy this spectacular competition. Some participants will compete for the victory in the classic technique (Saturday) and free technique (Sunday) races of 30 or 42 km, while others will simply enjoy a healthy discipline. 
The Gsiesertal Lauf focuses on sustainability through the following key elements: efficient use of resources, waste management, enhancement of local products and social responsibility, but also the implementation of measures aimed at obtaining the 'going Green Event' certification: printing on recycled paper, waste management (use of reusable products/packaging and separate collection where necessary), culinary delights with at least one vegetarian dish (the five-star menu of the Gsiesertal Lauf is always very tempting), encouraging the use of public transport with the following message from the organising committee... "respect the environment by throwing away the rubbish in the marked service areas and use sustainable means of transport".
RAI Sport will be broadcasting live coverage of the skating event on Sunday from 11.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
