A Gran Fondo is a type of long-distance road cycling ride originating in Italy in 1970, and roughly translates into English as Big Ride. Italian Gran Fondos are officially defined and certified by the Italian Cycling Federation as a bicycle event at least 120 kilometres long, and are individually chip-timed races with prizes for the fastest riders in each category. The starts are done en masse, and the format allows for riders of every level to participate, much like a marathon, where most participants are competing against the clock instead of other participants.

  • 4. Alpine Coaster Imst
    A mountain coaster or alpine coaster is a type of roller coaster with bobsled-like cars on tracks installed on a mountain. It is similar to alpine slides where a low-wheeled sled is used to navigate the track, but instead of running over smooth concave tracks like the alpine slide, alpine coasters run on rails with up-stop wheels like traditional roller coasters.

    Serfaus is a municipality in the district of Landeck in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is well known as part of the ski-region Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, which was formed when Serfaus teamed up with the two nearby municipalities of Fiss and Ladis in 1999.
