King Ludwig Lauf

Cross-country skiing enthusiasts should mark the first weekend in February in their calendars every year! On this weekend, the Ammergau Alps Nature Park is transformed into a cross-country skiing paradise with competitions (classic and skating), testivals, expos and many other highlights as part of the King Ludwig Run. 

For those who prefer to be active in the summer, the summer edition of the King Ludwig Run awaits in September. There are various disciplines for both beginners and advanced runners: 5 km wellness run, 10 km panorama run and 21 km half marathon. 

King Ludwig Run Winter Edition

Germany's largest cross-country skiing event 31.01. - 02.02.2025 - Unfortunately cancelled!

Unfortunately, the weather was once again not kind to the King Ludwig Run. After wonderful cross-country skiing conditions since Christmas, a warm spell hit the weekend around January 25th. On Tuesday, the conditions on the trails deteriorated drastically due to heavy rain, so that the run can no longer be held. It is with a heavy heart that the KLL 2025 has to be cancelled.
