Kälberloch is a World Cup downhill ski course in Austria, located on Gamskogel (Radstadt Tauern) mountain in Zauchensee, Altenmarkt im Pongau, Salzburg; it debuted in 1990.[1][2][3]
Kälberloch is considered the most demanding course on the women's World Cup circuit; it hosted the season final speed events for men and women in March 2002, with the technical events on the "Griessenkar" course.
The start fall is so steep (70% gradient) it is impossible to walk uphill; the only access to the start at ridge overhang with barely any space, is via a steep cog railway.
