Event
Lake of Charity
The 9th fun sports charity event will be held at the picturesque Gerstreitteich lake in Saalbach Hiterglemm, promising a great time with trendy sports, water fun and acoustic live acts. A spontaneous idea by three friends in 2011 has become increasingly popular in the last six years in the fun sports scene, creating a rippled effect in people’s willingness to offer their help for a good cause. The events have so far raised more than €200,000 for families and children in need in the Pinzgau region.
A lake of charity, ... but primarily it’s also a lake where you can enjoy lots of different kinds of sports – mega fun in a relaxed atmosphere guaranteed. Apart from the main competition for pros and amateurs, i.e. jumping with bikes, snowboards and freestyle ski over the massive water ramp into the crystal clear water, the roughly 5000 visitors get to do a lot of fun sports activities around the “Gerstreitteich” this weekend. The providers of the various fun sports and workshops are doing everything for free at the “Lake of Charity” and so everyone can enjoy water bombing, slacklining, wakeboarding, the slip´n´slide, archery and skating to their heart’s content.
When dusk slowly falls over the breathtaking setting around the lake and the surrounding mountains are soaking up the last rays of daylight, enjoy the BBQ and cocktails provided by local restaurateurs while listening to local bands and other music artists playing on the banks of the lake.
