My memories of this beautiful course will last a lifetime!

Insurance

Each race participant must have personal accident insurance sufficient to cover the cost of evacuation in Italy and Switzerland. The insurance policy must be valid at least for the duration of the race.

N.B. Helicopter evacuations in Italy and Switzerland are not free of charge. The choice of evacuation will depend exclusively on the organisation which will prioritise the participant’s security.

It is advised that you also take out a normal travel insurance to cover cancellation of accommodation / shuttle etc.

LOGISTICS

The start in Gressoney, Italy and the finish in Grächen, Switzerland are separated by 250 km and an international border, so the logistics are complicated! It is difficult to travel between Grächen and Gressoney by public transport so we provide an option to book our shuttle bus from Grächen to Gressoney before and after the race. We also offer an option to book a race hotel near the start location in Gressoney, sharing with another runner. Of course in any case we transfer your baggage (up to 12kg) to the finish line, and we provide you with one dropbag that will be available for you at Macugnaga, the 55 km point.

Cancellation

Please check our cancellation policy and consider a travel insurance to cover you for withdrawal to avoid disappointment. Thank you.
