Pesciüm Winter Skyrace 2020

The Pesciüm Winter Skyrace consists of two amazing routes in a breathtaking alpine environment. Choose whether you want to enjoy the day peacefully on an 8km course (with 700m of altitude difference) in the company of the people you love or with your dog, passing through Pesciüm and Nante, or whether you want to fight to the last calorie of your body and challenge the others on the 16km course (with 1300m of altitude difference) which includes climbing the legendary black slope of Varozzei which will take you to 2250m on a 300m ramp with an absurd gradient.

In the philosophy of Scenic Trail, co-organizer of the event together with the Funivie Airolo-Pesciüm, the safety of the competitors comes first and in second place there are beauty and hardness of the route.

Whichever route you choose, you will go home satisfied with the views and the pride of having been able to tackle such special routes.

Places limited to 200 for this very first Skyrace which is already stirring up the runners of the region! The price includes registration, a race pack, the ascent and descent by cable car and a good lunch at the restaurant in Pesciüm. Registration by 27 February, so hurry!
