What Makes It Great

The crown jewel of the Lavaredo Ultra Trail, this 120-kilometer loop departs Cortina d'Ampezzo at 11pm and races through the night across rocky Dolomite passes. Runners arrive at the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo at sunrise before looping back through rifugios and high alpine terrain to Cortina. With 5,800 meters of climbing, a 30-hour time limit, and one of the most recognizable landscapes in trail running, it stands among Europe's most prestigious long-distance mountain ultras.
