Exploring paths far and wide and equipped with much experience in organizing mountain competitions, we let ourselves be fascinated by the possibility of offering something new. Not a trail run; not even a foot race, but rather a variant that offers the best of both worlds. Those who are fast can run the entire route, which is made up of very easy paths and only a small altitude gain, in a relatively short time. At the same time, those who are less well-trained can calmly face this natural tour of the valley and have an incredible emotional experience.
The departure from Airolo allows everyone to easily reach this unique location by public transport or private vehicles; for those staying in the area for longer, there are ample options for hotels and accommodation facilities. The race ends in nearby Pesciüm, a renowned ski resort that also offers many alternative activities during the summer, where you can eat and attend the award ceremony before returning to the valley by cable car (or by foot) quickly and safely. The finish area is also easily accessible to non-runners who would like to go up to assist their loved ones or watch the arrivals and cheer on the runners.
