Saalbach Trail & Skyrace - Tag 1

Saalbach Trail & Skyrace begins in Saalbach-Hinterglemm with a demanding Saturday schedule in the Salzburg Alps. The primary event is the 13 Summits Sky Marathon, a 47 km mountain race covering 3,500 m of ascent, commencing at 7 AM. For those seeking a shorter introduction, the Soultrail offers a 9 km course with 450 m of climbing, starting at 10 AM. Additionally, the 12 Summits Speed option presents a 44 km route with 2,500 m of elevation gain, beginning at 8 AM. The event's course selection highlights its focus: trail running centered on steep ascents, connecting summits, and extended periods on mountain terrain. The 13 Summits Sky Marathon stands as the ultimate test, while the 12 Summits Speed provides a lengthy option for determined trail runners, bypassing the challenging initial climb to the Schattberg. The broader Saalbach Trail & Skyrace series also features the 6 Summits Martini Skyrace, the 6 Summits Speed, the Vertical Extreme, and a 6-hour challenge, attracting both seasoned mountain runners and individuals participating in shorter alpine trail races over the weekend.
