The White Thrill
Saturday, 19th April 2025
The legendary race fascinates St. Anton’s winter athletes.
Start Relocation 2025
Due to the current snow conditions and the associated safety concerns, the start of the white rush has to be moved from the Vallugagrat to the Mattunjochboden this year - directly before the ascent.
Important for all participants: Skis, snowboards, telemark or short skis must be carried in the hand at the start - they must not be strapped on or fastened. The start area is accessible with winter sports equipment: Please use the Galzig and Valluga cable cars to ascent and then descend slowly and in a controlled manner to the start area.
We thank you for your understanding - and look forward to a spectacular race with you!

"Der weisse Rausch" Trophy 2025
created by Sandra Brugger
The ski goggles depict the white rush from the athletes' perspective. Surrounded by a powerful mountain backdrop, there are only a few moments left until the starting shot. The pulse rises. The adrenalin rushes through your veins. A look at the striking, rugged mountain backdrop before the start. The majestic mountains offer another opportunity to gather your thoughts. They give you strength, new courage and confidence.
The material, white cast stone concrete, symbolises winter, snow and the ‘white rush’, the toughest ski race in the Alps.
