What to do there

AdventureWalk Marcel Hirscher's World Cup Slope + Glacier Wine at 3,000mStand at the start gate where the World Cup season opens every October. This is Marcel Hirscher's mountain—he won here five times before retiring undefeated. Walk or ski the actual race course (it's brutally steep; you'll understand why these athletes are superhuman), then drink Austrian Grüner Veltliner at Gletscherspalte Bar overlooking the slope. During race weekends, 30,000 fans turn this glacier into Ibiza. Off-season, you have the hallowed ground to yourself. Either way, the altitude makes every sip hit harder.
