Kölsch statt Champagner

In the organizer's words:

Experience race days at the racecourse in Cologne-Weidenpesch in a very special atmosphere: informal, sociable and typically Kölsch - under our motto "Kölsch instead of champagne".

As a catering partner on the grounds of the Cologne-Weidenpesch racecourse, we open our Schreckenskammer Alm for an exclusive but relaxed race day experience.

The offer includes admission to the race day, access to the Schreckenskammer Alm and a Kölsch flat rate during the event. The whole thing is accompanied by a small, finely tuned buffet with hearty Kölsch snacks and a homemade soup to go with the freshly tapped Schreckenskammer Kölsch. Other drinks are available separately.

The time frame of the Kölsch flat rate extends from one hour before the first race to half an hour after the last race, so that you can enjoy the racing action to the full.

The concept is deliberately informal: There is no fixed seating. Inside the Alm, the rustic seating remains in place, while bar tables on the terrace create a relaxed, communicative atmosphere.

For the complete racing experience, a betting booth and a screen for live broadcasting will also be provided.

The price for this package is €65 per person.

Tickets are sold via the official ticket portal of the racing club. Simply select "Almhütte Kölsch instead of champagne" under ticket type.
