Maratón ciclista de Alta Valtellina 2027 – Italia

Qué esperar

A true high-altitude mountain bike epic: Alta Valtellina Bike Marathon is the top event for mountain bike lovers in northern Italy, set entirely inside the extraordinary Stelvio National Park. This is not a city criterium, it is a journey through breathtaking Alpine landscapes, technical trails, fir forests, alpine pastures, historic military roads and glacial lakes. Expect 90 percent dirt roads with a firm surface, combined with specially groomed and designed single track sections built for flow and fun, all while riding between 1800 and 2350 meters of altitude.

Three routes for every level of ambition: The format is designed to satisfy both professionals and amateurs. The Marathon route covers 100 km with 3260 meters of elevation gain, a pure adrenaline challenge for daredevils that goes past the towers of Val Fraele and the Cancano lakes, up to Trela Pass and Alpisella Pass. The Endurance route covers 76 km with 2400 meters of elevation gain, a more accessible but still demanding alternative that keeps the best of the high mountain sections. The Classic route covers 44 km with 1485 meters of elevation gain, ideal for first-timers, young riders and those who want a shorter but still authentic Alpine experience. All three start and finish in Rasin, Valdidentro, where a lively Bike Village awaits.

A four-day celebration of MTB culture: The event is structured as four days fully dedicated to MTB and nature enthusiasts. The Bike Village in Rasin is the social hub, featuring race pack pickup, expo area with latest news in mountain biking, sponsor stalls, bike wash, showers, mechanical assistance and festive atmosphere. Side activities include Marathon Kids, a mini granfondo dedicated to little ones, events for families, local food and wine stands with typical Valtellina products, and entertainment for spectators.

A demanding but rideable profile: Participants can expect a demanding route profile with continuous ups and downs, eight lakes and five alpine pastures on the long course, and four passes that cause burning calves. The marathon route leads over unpaved but well-developed paths, from the heart of Isolaccia village, uphill to Pedenosso Alto and Sant Antonio, descending on Decauville dirt road toward Torri di Fraele at 1930 meters, entering the spectacular valley of the same name, passing near the small lake of Monte Scale to the Cancano dams, following the dams on wide dirt roads, heading toward Val Mora near the Swiss border on traces of the ancient Via d Alemagna, climbing to Alpe Trela at 2200 meters and Passo Trela at 2300 meters, descending on single track to Val Pila and Val Torta to Lake Livigno, climbing to Passo Alpisella at 2350 meters, then through Bocchetta di Trelina, Val Vezzola, Arnoga, Val Viola dominated by Cima Piazzi, Val Verva, Paluetta, Alpe Boron at 2057 meters, the challenging wall of Prei, Alpe Pone, and finally flowing down the Valdidentro ski slopes, Palancana road through thick pine forests with panoramic windows onto Bormio, to the Venini Military Fort and Paluaccio di Oga reserve, using fun trails built for the bike park in Oga to the Motte and Corva and back via cross-country ski trail and Isolaccia bike path.
