Grossglockner ultra trail

GWT 35 offers a start into high-alpine trail running. However, with 1,500 m climb ascent and often technically very difficult terrain is still no walk. The terrain is difficult and the alpine environment means a challenge for every participant.

Grossglockner ULTRA-TRAIL® (GGUT 110) mainly follows the trails of the so called "Glocknerrunde" around Austria's highest mountain, the Großglockner (3,798 m). Through the scenic landscape of the National Park Hohe Tauern, the race crosses 3 provinces, 7 valleys, 6 municipalities, runners cross the Alps twice, running along 14 glaciers, surrounded by around 300 mountains higher than 3.000m. Start and Finish is in Kaprun (Maiskogelparkplatz).

Start of the Osttirol Trail (OTT 80) is on Enzingerboden (1,483 m) at the ground station of the Weissee Gletscherwelt cable car. From there via the middle station of the cable car directly to the Rudolfshütte (2,315 m). Then continuing, finally passing a snowfield, to Kalser Tauern (2,515 m), and from there in a long technically difficult downhill into the Dorfertal. Rather flat then from approx. Kalser Tauernhaus and later softly down to Kals am Großglockner.

Start of the Grossglockner Trail is in the middle of Kals am Großglockner (Musikpavillon). From Kals the track runs on the old "Glocknerstrasse" towards Lucknerhaus, there with the first stunning views of the Grossglockner.

Together with the Sportunion Kals am Großglockner and Run2Gether, we are offering a competition for our trail youngsters for the first time this year.
