Trail Grigne Sud

Nestled within the heart of Lombardy's stunning Alpine landscape lies the Grigne Sud Trail. This challenging yet captivating race offers runners an unforgettable journey through the southern slopes of the majestic Grigne range, where nature and adventure converge.
Participants can opt for either the long route, stretching 42 kilometers with a daunting elevation gain of over 3,700 meters, or the shorter but equally scenic course at 22 kilometers with 1,800 meters of ascent. Both routes start from Mandello del Lario and wind their way through verdant valleys and along the shores of Lake Como before ascending to breathtaking heights beneath Sasso Cavallo.
The trail is a true test for both body and mind as it navigates rugged terrain dotted with ancient forests and craggy peaks, offering runners panoramic views of shimmering lakes and snow-capped mountains. Along the way, competitors will have the rare opportunity to spot chamois, graceful mountain goats that call these trails home.

Runners can expect challenging climbs and technical descents as they traverse through varied landscapes. The route features well-marked paths that wind around historic villages, passing by charming lakeside towns before reaching the summit trails.
