Harakiri (ski piste)

It is named after the Japanese vulgar term for seppuku, ritual suicide by samurai.

With incline of up to 78% (38 degrees), vertical drop of 375 metres and a length of about 1500 metres, it is the steepest groomed slope in Austria.

Thus the slope is steeper than the initial trace of a ski jump.

Because of this extreme inclination, the slope can only be maintained with a special secured slope unit.
