ALTA VALTELLINA EXPERIENCE 2016

Much more than just a stop on the Skyrunner World Series 2016, the Alta Valtellina Experience has been conceived as an all-encompassing event to open up the world of trail running on the magical slopes of the ‘Costa del Sol.’

Coinciding with the World Series-listed Skymarathon, the race organisers have created a further event for Sunday 26 June. In collaboration with the Marathon Club Livigno athletics club, Carosello 3000 and APT, a second race has been planned for ‘Little Tibet’, designed for those who love a more classic version of running, unconcerned by results and purely for enjoyment and the opportunity to run in such an impressive landscape.


The ideal opportunity to enliven a Sunday of sport, the Livigno Trail follows a spectacularly beautiful route along fast and mellow trails – making it the ideal counterpart to the technical Skymarathon. Weaving around one of the region’s most beautiful valleys, the 16/17km race with 1,000 metres of elevation primarily follows gravel tracks and swooping singletracks in the unspoiled Val Federia. Race highlights include not only the superb descent from Carosello 3000 and the Costa del Sol, but also the opportunity for Livigno Trail participants to join the Skyrunner World Series route for a section, where the big names of skyrunning will be giving their all just moments later.

After an unforgettable stretch touching the sky, Trail race participants will relish the opportunity to raise their arms in victory as they cross the same coveted finish line in the centre of Livigno, timed to coincide nicely with the later arrival of the Livigno Skymarathon winners.
