IRONMAN Zell am See-Kaprun
IRONMAN 70.3 Zell am See-Kaprun on 30 August 2026 swims 1.9 km in Lake Zell, then sends you into the Austrian Alps for 90 km before a 21.1 km run back along the lakeshore.
The bike is the race. Alpine terrain here means sustained climbing rather than rollers, and the descents are fast enough that handling costs or saves real time. Riders who treat the first climb as a warm-up generally have a better day than the ones who treat it as an opportunity.
Lake Zell sits at around 750 metres, ringed by mountains, and it does not warm through the way a lowland lake does. Expect a cold swim even at the end of August, and expect to get cold again on the descents if the day is overcast.
The valley is a summer resort, so beds exist in quantity, but race weekend is peak season and anything walkable from transition goes early.
