Course route - 17.5 km and altitude difference of 1,350 metres
Runners will no longer have two courses to choose from. The only course will run along the ORIGINAL ROUTE, an extremely interesting, scenic route spanning 17.5 km with an altitude difference of 1,350 m. From Forcella Pian di Cengia/Büllelejoch, the course will run not towards Misurina and the Paternsattel as was the case in recent years but directly above the Laghi dei Piani/Bödenseen lakes to the Rifugio Antonio Locatelli/Drei Zinnen Hütte. The course is a little shorter, the mountain downhill section is omitted or greatly reduced and the route is more scenic!

The centre of the village of Sesto forms part of the track. Immediately after the start in front of Haus Sexten, the wide track leads along the main street through the centre of Sesto to the main square, past the church and some historical buildings and then back to the start area by Haus Sexten next to the Monte Elmo cable car. |

From there, the route continues to Moso/Moos, through the lush green larch woods of the most beautiful valley in the world, the Val Fiscalina/Fischleintal, and on to the Rifugio Piano Fiscalino/Fischleinbodenhütte and the Rifugio Fondo Valle/Talschlusshütte. Just after the Rifugio Fondo Valle (at 8.2 km) at the Bacherntal-Altensteinertal crossroads, the route turns LEFT towards the Rifugio Zsigmondy Comici/Zsigmondyhütte. |

In recent years, the winding path to the Rifugio Zsigmondy Comici and on to the Rifugio Pian di Cengia/Büllelejochhütte at 2575 m really put participants’ fitness to the test. |

From the Forcella Pian di Cengia, the route continues in front of the Paterno/Paternkofel mountain and above the Laghi dei Piani lakes to the Rifugio Antonio Locatelli. |
