What's the challenge?

Five years later, X-WATERS returns to Austria to the beautiful Wertersee Lake!

This is a great opportunity to combine a serious challenge with everyday comfort and a luxurious cultural program.

The stunning location is Lake Wertersee, the most popular lake in Austria.
A unique reservoir where clear clear water from Alpine glaciers warms up to a comfortable temperature of 20-24 degrees. Drinking-quality water, including due to the fact that almost all motor vehicles are prohibited on the lake, the inevitable smell of gasoline at most starts will not even be from escort boats.
The swim includes a 17 km route with an end–to-end crossing of the lake and, attention, a 34 (!) km round-trip route. This is the longest one-day start in the X-WATERS series, unique, including for Europe.
The total number of distances in the swim is 10, there are options for a swimmer of any level.

Excellent geographical location and infrastructure of the place: within three hours after the swim, you can listen to Mozart at the Vienna Opera or ride a gondola along the Grand Canal in Venice.
By the way, this is where Ironman Austria is held.
