The 2022 tour programme for the Weissensee Alternative Dutch 11-City Tour is out
The organisation behind the Weissensee Alternative Dutch 11-City Tour has announced its 2022 tour programme. Lovers of skating on natural ice abroad get four chances to skate the Alternative Dutch 11-City Tour. An overview.
Because of corona en immense snowfall there was hardly any skating on the Austrian Weissensee in 2021. But an Alternative Dutch 11-City Tour was certainly not on. Which is why, after a heartfelt message , the focus is now on 2022.
The 2022 Weissensee tour programme
And as far as the Weissensee 2022 goes, the tour programme is out. The tour programme is the calendar of ‘skating days’ for tour riders, that is, recreational skaters; anyone can take part.
As tradition has it, the skating days fall on Tuesdays and Fridays. Here are the exact dates:
- Tuesday 25 January 2022 – 200 kilometre tour
- Friday 28 January 2022 – 200 kilometre tour
- Tuesday 1 February 2022 – 200 kilometre tour
- Friday 4 February 2022 – 200 kilometre tour
“We look forward to seeing you back on the Weissensee in 2022”, says the organisation. “The tour programme is out; the races will be set later in consultation with the KNSB.”
Skating on natural ice abroad
The Weissensee is popular with Dutch skating enthusiasts. Every year a caravan of some six thousand Dutch people sets off for the Austrian mountain lake.
They go on a ‘skating holiday’: skating on natural ice abroad. The lake lies at almost a kilometre's altitude and freezes over every winter.
That ice guarantee gives organisations like the Weissensee Alternative Dutch 11-City Tour the chance to hold tours. So there are tours for tour riders as well, who can earn the alternative 11-City crosses.
