The
mountain marathon takes you from the cathedral square in the centre of
Brixen (560m) to the
Plose, the local mountain of
Brixen at 2450m. The route goes from forest and meadow trails, in sections on asphalt roads, to St. Andrä (1062m).
At the valley station of the cable car Plose the first change takes place (relay). Now it goes on to hiking and forest trails to Afers (1504m) to the second relay change. Accompanied by a unique scenery of the Peitler mountain and the Dolomites in the background, the route takes you in sections on asphalt roads into the valley to the Schatzer hut. From there the route continues on forest and hiking trails to Kreuztal (2070m, 3rd change). On the hiking trail to the Ochsenalm enjoy the wonderful view down the valley before the last 3.2 km and 400 m of altitude gain await you.
The spectacular mountain scenery, a 360° panoramic view at the finish make you forget all your efforts of the
marathon. A
double challenge, the 2340 meters of altitude between Brixen and the Plose!
