Prizes for individuals:
In addition to the awards, there is also the chance for individuals to win high-quality prizes in the gold category. These include regional vouchers (season tickets, hotel vouchers, etc.) and will be raffled off among all those who achieve the gold category within a year.

Prizes for teams:
Teams have the chance to win the main prize of the Tirol³ Nordic Challenge: the most hard-working team* will be rewarded with an exclusive and high-quality prize package for up to 20 people.

The prize package consists of a weekend for up to 20 people in one of the 3 regions. The weekend includes a ‘training camp’ to prepare for the coming season and includes 3 days or 2 nights including half board in a top hotel. The packages are said to be worth around 500 euros. The ‘training camp’ will take place from 5 September to 7 September 2025 to prepare for the winter in Galtür, led by top coaches and designed to improve the team members' (racing) techniques. The winning team will receive an exclusive experience that promotes social interaction, the sporting level and the connection to cross-country skiing in Tyrol. As a special incentive, there will be a meet & greet with Teresa Stadlober on 5 September 2025.

** Conditions of participation Team Challenge: Only athletes who have taken part in all 3 races and finished at least one race in each event will be counted and honoured. The minimum distance is 20 km per race. The entry fees must have been paid by the participants themselves (not by sponsors, associations, free ticket contingents, etc.). The team with the most ranked members who collect the most kilometres over short and long distances (no sprint) in all 3 fun runs within a season wins the prize package. Each team member must complete a race distance in all 3 races. If a team consists of 8 members, but only 5 of them finish at least one race in all races, the final team size in the classification is 5 persons. The minimum final team size is 2 people. The maximum final team size is 20 persons. If the team size is less than or equal to 10 people, each person will receive 2 places for the weekend and may bring an additional person with them. From a team size of 11 people, the team receives a flat rate of 20 places. If there are several teams with the same final team size (max. 20 people) and the same number of kilometres collected, the package will be raffled among these teams.

For the most ambitious athletes, the ‘Tirol³ Nordic Challenge’ offers a special cup ranking that rewards the performances of the fastest participants. Here, the fastest athletes are honoured based on their results in the individual races. A special scoring system is used: the best time of the day in a race is multiplied by a maximum number of points and then divided by the athlete's own time. This produces a ranking list that honours the best performances. The ten best women and men in the cup ranking will be invited to the ‘Award Ceremony of the Tirol³ Nordic Cup 2025’ at the Galtür Nordic Volumes, where they will be honoured with medals and certificates for their outstanding performances.
