Gletscher Trailrun 2027
Obergurgl, Austria, 24 Jul 2027
This technically demanding route starts in Obergurgl, heads through Königstal and Hochgurgl into Timmelstal, and keeps glacier views in sight for much of the day. Runners face a long climb to Nedersee, a high point above 3,000 m at Ramolhaus, and a very technical descent to the Piccard Bridge before continuing over Schwärzenkamm and through Rotmoostal. It is a serious high-alpine challenge with varied terrain, steep climbing and descending, and a long final return through Verwall and Königstal to Obergurgl.
One distance, 61 km, up to 3,772 m of climb.
