Glacier Trail - 62K
Course Description
Participants will enjoy views of countless glaciers on this technically demanding course. Starting from the village center of Obergurgl, runners will head towards Königstal and then to Hochgurgl. From there, they will continue into Timmelstal to Lenzen Alm (Aid Station 1) and face a strenuous climb to Nedersee.
At approximately 2,500 meters, the course leads back down into the valley over a beautiful trail to the second aid station (Küppelehütte), before making a steep ascent to the highest point of the race, Ramolhaus, over 3,000 meters.
After taking an intermediate time there, participants will tackle a very technical downhill to the Piccard Bridge, where a breathtaking panorama of the Ötztal Glacier World awaits. Continuing over Schwärzenkamm to Langtalereckhütte, runners will take on the next kilometers of the race on the forest road leading to Schönwieshütte.
After the next aid station, the route leads into the beautiful Rotmoostal valley, up to Hohe Mut Alm. Upon reaching 2,670 meters, runners can enjoy the view before descending through Gaisbergtal toward Festkogl. Here, they’ll need to gather their energy for the final stretch, traversing Verwall and Königstal back to Obergurgl and the finish line.
The actual distance and elevation measurements may vary by +/- 3% depending on the measurement method.
