Notable Features

This race combines the drama of starting in a valley and finishing on a 2,970-meter peak with the technical challenge of navigating alpine terrain over significant elevation gain. The inclusion of cable car transport for the descent and the option for three-person relay teams adds unique logistical elements that set it apart from typical mountain races.
