EHC Red Bull München Cooperation
The cooperation between the German top ice hockey club Red Bull München from Munich and the Zell am See-Kaprun region has been in place since winter 2022/23. In 2025 we will again welcome teams and fans of the international invitational tournament "Red Bulls Salute" to the ice rink in Zell am See.
Red Bull Ice Hockey Club
Founded in 1998, the club managed to rise from the lowest to the highest German division, the German Ice Hockey League, in just twelve years. On 1 May 2013, Red Bull became the sole shareholder, and the club has operated under the name EHC Red Bull München since then. The 2015/16 season marked the most successful era in the club's eventful history to date: the team celebrated winning its first German championship on 22 April 2016. The Red Bulls also won the title in 2017 and 2018 and in the 2022/23 season. In 2019, Red Bull München became the first and, so far, only German team to reach the final of the Champions Hockey League. Since autumn 2024, the home of EHC Red Bull Munich has been the SAP Garden, which also houses the club's office.

Red Bulls Fan Ski Day
On 15 February 2025, the third EHC Red Bull Munich fan ski day took place on the Schmittenhöhe, after the Kitzsteinhorn was the venue for the second fan ski day last year: From Munich by bus to Zell am See-Kaprun and, in the sunshine, onto the slopes. The Schmittenhöhe presented itself at its best with perfect piste conditions and we are already looking forward to the Fan Ski Day 2026.
