Travel climate-friendly & win

A major event as a Green Event? The premiere of the first World Cup slalom in Gurgl, with over 8,000 visitors, proved that it works. This approach continues. Hosting a sustainable ski festival requires the commitment of everyone. Ski fans can show their support by carpooling via the ummadum app. The result: less traffic and a relaxed sports experience. Mobility role models can win attractive prizes and earn a bonus of € 0.10 (up to € 6) per shared kilometer.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the ummadum app and become part of the Ski World Cup Gurgl community.
2. Take a climate-friendly action: Choose an eco-friendly travel option, either by using public transportation or forming a carpool.
3. Win prizes: If you log at least one activity between 21. - 24.11.2024, you are automatically entered into the prize draw.
