Start time: 10:30 a.m.

An intense and inspiring itinerary that combines glacial valleys, protected natural landscapes, and a final mythical descent that tests the technique and endurance of all participants.

Route description

The start takes place at the Puntal parking lot, at the entrance of the Sorteny Valley Natural Park, at an altitude of 1,985 m. From here, the itinerary delves into a privileged high mountain environment, advancing through open and tranquil landscapes to the Planell de Quer.

The route continues through the entire Rialb valley, passing by the Rialb Refuge and facing the climb up to the Portella de Rialb. From the pass, the Ordino Arcalís station and the finish line can already be seen in the distance.

However, before reaching it, one of the most emblematic sections of the race awaits:
The descent from Pic de Fontblanca, with 700 m of negative elevation and varied slopes that will delight the most technical skiers and motivate those looking to push their limits until the end.

Once this descent is overcome, you arrive at the Castellar Bridge. Only the last effort remains:
100 m+ and the last 2 km to the finish line at Ordino Arcalís, where this extraordinary adventure culminates.
