The glacier marathon meanders through the impressive mountain scenery of the entire Pitztal. Starting at the foot of the glacier, runners can enjoy the most beautiful impressions that nature in the Pitztal mountains has to offer. Glacier marathon embodies the core values of sport since time immemorial: physical strength, stamina, fighting spirit and most importantly: camaraderie! The family atmosphere, friendliness of the marshal volunteers and the high spirits in the finish area are compelling.
