Those who didn’t get a starting place in the official drawing of the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon still have the opportunity to secure their participation. By booking a package, the accommodation can be chosen freely (minimum stay of 4 - 7 nights), a starting place is guaranteed for registered cyclists. But you have to be fairly quick as the staggered packages can only be booked for two days in January, depending on the length of stay.
There is no entitlement to get a starting place for bookings already made in advance.
