GROSSGLOCKNER ULTRA-TRAIL® powered by DYNAFIT

GROSSGLOCKNER ULTRA-TRAIL® - "the" trailrun around Austria's highest mountain: 7 valleys, 6 towns, along 14 glaciers and more than 300 peaks higher 3000 m around:

Right from the center of Kaprun (Salzburg/Austria) we look up respectfully to the Glaciers of Kitzsteinhorn (3203 m). From there we will come back tomorrow after our exiting adventure in the heart of the Austrian Alps.

Just ahead of us is the tour of 110 km and 6.500 m in ascent around Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner (3798 m). Mostly on single-trails we cross the Alps twice through a uniquely beautiful high mountain landscape crossing and passing its clear creeks and along the glaciers of Grossglockner.
