Laserzlauf 2025: Tradition meets challenges in the high mountains!

Lavant, Österreich - In the legendary laser run on February 24, 2025, Armin Höfl triumphed from Team Karpos in an outstanding time of 1: 50.56 hours. The ski touring run, which has not been an ordinary race since the 1980s, not only demanded everything physically, but also technically. Höfl, already winner in 2018, mastered the demanding route from Lavant to the Laserztörl 2,497 meters high, with 1,800 meters of altitude on the ascent. The challenge of the new ascent route was undisputed, but the departure was largely held on the traditional original route, which required a lot of skill. This shows that the laser run has preserved its demanding character despite the necessary adjustments to the route, as also emphasizes the Alpenraute

In the women's ranking, Czech Marcela Vasinova secured first place with a time of 2: 27.04 hours. Linda Wilhelmstätter and the Dutchman Aneloes Goetze followed behind her.

The competition went without serious injuries, only a ski broke during the challenges. Oswald Gassler, part of the organizational team, was pleased with the smooth course of the race and expressly thanked the Lienz and all helpers for their invaluable support, such as on dolomitenstadt is reported.
