Großglockner Ultra-Trail

The routes around the country's highest mountain are renowned in the scene for their technical character and spectacular scenery. The race takes around 2,000 trail runners through unspoilt high alpine terrain, surrounded by countless glaciers and imposing three-thousand metre peaks. Be there and see for yourself!

Transalpine Run
There is hardly any other trail running event where participants have to push themselves to their limits as much as the Transalpine Run. Every year, around 600 runners attempt to cross the Alps in seven stages and fight hard to reach the legendary TAR finish line. If they succeed in this extraordinary challenge, emotional scenes at the finish line are inevitable. To mark the 20th anniversary, the organisers have once again devised a spectacular route that will take the participants over 243 kilometres and 15,000 metres in altitude across three countries.
