The Herzstück.
Where the season begins.
The official season opener of the telemark community — three days on the glacier at 3,250 m. Not a spectator event: you are right in the middle of it.
Workshop spots are limited.
The Testival.
At the Tuxer Fernerhaus, the leading telemark brands present their latest skis, bindings and boots. Test everything for free — right on the slope, at real altitude.
Experts on site help you find your setup. No sales pitch, no catalog — just real skis in real snow.

The Races.
For the first time after a longer break, the FEO once again hosts the World Cup Season Opening — right on the Hintertux Glacier, 3,250 m above sea level.
Athletes from more than eight nations in two FIS Telemark Sprint World Cup races. No grandstands, no barriers. Real community, right next to the course.
