Due to heavy rainfall, mudslides, fallen trees and the Enns river, which is about to overflow, the fourth and final stage of the Alpentour Trophy onto the Hauser Kaibling mountain had to be cancelled for safety reasons.

The overall winners are both defending champions: Kristian Hynek in the elite men's race and Sally Bigham in the elite women's race.
