Race (top) and Pro courses
This year’s summer event took place from 19-22 July. The Pro race is for very experienced racers only, think Red Bull X-Alps athletes. The route is shown above and involved crossing the Alpine chain, twice. The Challenge race is no walk in the park either, and entrants must have proven multi-day hike-and-fly race experience to take part. the Challenge course also involved crossing the main chain and was more than 150km in distance.
