Description

The Challenge CLASSIC shares the route with the Challenge LIGHT up to the refreshment station at the Holzalm. From here, however, it becomes more demanding: ÜOver a steep ascent and partly secured passages with ropes, it goes up to the summit of the Gratlspitze. The subsequent run along the ridge over technical, boulder-strewn terrain demands concentration, but is rewarded with a fantastic 360° panorama. This challenge is exclusively aimed at experienced trail runners with experience in alpine terrain.
