Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Paznaun Ischgl Ultra Trail demands sustained high-alpine endurance across 100 kilometres and 6,300 metres of climbing. Athletes must manage extreme vertical gain while maintaining movement over a long-duration mountain effort.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 6,300 metres of elevation over 100 km requires exceptional uphill efficiency and muscular endurance for continuous steep ascents.
Descent durability
Traversing high-alpine terrain demands robust eccentric leg strength to absorb the repetitive impact of sustained downhill running.
Extended duration
The scale of a 100 km mountain route requires disciplined pacing, thermoregulation in alpine weather, and meticulous execution of a prolonged nutrition plan.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output across the extended multi-hour duration of a 100-kilometer mountain ultra.
Estimated finish times
