When the Gondola Becomes Your Enemy

Forget everything you’ve learned about pace and race strategy. In Last Rider Standing, each two-person team rides in its own gondola. Sound relaxing? It isn’t. Because this gondola is more than just your ride to the top.

You start as a two-person team and are assigned your own gondola, which accompanies you throughout the entire race. It sets the pace, keeps track of time—and is also your biggest opponent. The gondola gets faster with every lap. For you, that means time is running out faster and faster. While the first gondola ride to Scharmoin takes about 20 minutes, the fastest ride is over in just about 3 minutes. For comparison: Jordan Williams needed 2:39.2 minutes for his 2023 World Cup victory. However, he didn’t have to run through the gondola hall in the valley, hang up his bike, take it down again at the start, and sprint to the start gate.

And then there’s only one thing left to do:

Catch it — or you’re out.

Who is this race for?

For anyone looking for more than just a few laps around the park.
For anyone who loves team competition and a challenge.
For anyone ready to push their limits—and beyond.

Plus: The format is intentionally designed so that younger riders can participate as well. Thanks to the gondola’s slow speed at the start, multiple laps are easily manageable—teams typically stay in the race for at least 4–5 runs.
