BancaStato Morobbia Trail

The BancaStato Morobbia Trail is a mountain trail event held in Pianezzo, within Ticino, Switzerland's Bellinzona District, typically scheduled for late June. The event offers three race options: the 32.9 km Morobbia Trail, the 14 km Trail della Croce, and a 6 km walk known as La Camminata popolare. The shortest route involves a 400-metre ascent, the 14 km race gains 1,300 metres, and the longest race features a 2,500-metre climb. The courses follow the trails of the Morobbia valley, presenting a steep, nature-focused mountain race rather than a flat road event. Both trail races are eligible for UTMB Index points: the 14 km race grants 1 ITRA point, and the 32.9 km race awards 2 ITRA points. This event caters to walkers seeking a brief local excursion, trail runners desiring a challenging mid-distance ascent, and seasoned mountain runners prepared for an extended course with significant elevation gain.
