The Stöösler bathtub race will take place on Saturday, January 24, 2026.
The legendary bathtub race on Stoos will take place again this winter. This somewhat different sporting event has caused a stir worldwide in the past with its curious images and has been featured in the media from Germany to Great Britain and China to India.
Teams of at least 3 people race down the specially created slope to the Balmberg Inn in the bathtubs provided.
Children can also take part if accompanied by an adult (only recommended from the age of 10).
***A mishap becomes an event - the story of the bathtub race***
A plumber has to replace an old bathtub in a house in winter. While unloading, the tub escapes and glides across the snow. It must be even better with a passenger, he thinks, and places his little brother in the bathtub on a snow-covered hill. The improvised bobsleigh works perfectly - a new "sport" is born. The plumber tells his colleague about this funny episode and so the young men come up with the idea of holding a bathtub race. Since one of them works on the Stoos, it was obvious to organize the race on the Stoos. Our research revealed that there are already various bathtub races, but they all take place on water and not on snow. Our bathtub race is therefore the first and so far the only race of its kind.
