33th. The Gsiesertal Valley Dumpling Marathon

1/18/2026

The Dumpling Pleasure Marathon – An event where active fun, nature and cuisine come together! Along the 50 km Val Casies cross-country trail, skiers can join at many access points and set their own pace. Walkers use the signposted winter hiking paths that lead past participating venues. From 11:00–16:00, hosts serve dumpling specialities – from hearty speck dumplings to beetroot and herb dumplings, through to dumplings with goulash; for dessert, sweet dumplings. It’s about the experience, not the race. Grand Lottery! Each portion of dumplings equals one lottery ticket. Main prize: Olympic ticket for 2 people on 21/02/2026 – Biathlon Antholz & 13 additional prizes.
