3 x Śnieżka - 1 x Mont Blanc is a June mountain running event based on a simple concept: climbing Śnieżka multiple times accumulates the elevation of Mont Blanc. Participants select their challenge: the Mini run ascends once over 17 km, the Average run ascends twice over 33 km, and the Ultra run ascends three times over 57 km.
The course prioritizes navigating the ascent over rapid progress on even terrain. Ultra winner Basia Muzyka characterized Śnieżka as a princess requiring respectful treatment. Her advice included focusing vision narrowly, looking only a meter or two ahead, and managing the perception of the slope's steepness. She noted that some runners pause, sit, kneel, or retreat when confronted by the mountain's true incline.
