New Year´s Eve Swim

Crazy and yet already traditional - one thing is clear at the New Year's Eve Swim: everyone who takes part here must bring along a large portion of craziness to jump into the ice-cold Achensee at a water temperature of four degrees and then swim a distance of 50 metres.

PROGRAMME

• Until 11.30 Registration
• 11.30 Prelude with casual sound to get in the mood for the turn of the year
• 12.00 New Year's Eve Swim - Category Sport
• 13.30 New Year's Eve Swim - Category Fun 
• Afterwards (about 15.00) award ceremony

To bring the body temperature back to normal, the participants can also recover in the sauna of the Hotel Post after their effort.

The physical well-being is taken care of.     

Category Sport In the Sport category, the swimmers jump from the three-metre high jetty into Lake Achensee, swim 25 metres to the iceberg, climb it, ring the New Year's Eve bell and swim back to the jetty. Whoever is closest to the average time can look forward to the prize money.    

Category Fun In the Fun category, everything from grandma's nightgown to grandpa's pants as a disguise is allowed. The winner receives recognition from the audience and prizes in kind.
