Route of the Resia Lake’s race

The route around the biggest
lake in South Tyrol

You will not be able to find a more beautiful place for a running event. The run around Lake Resia is exclusively on the closed footpath or cycle path and always directly along the shore.

The lake circuit is a scenic treat for every participant.
A special highlight is the crossing of the 460-metre-long imposing dam.

Track description

The start is in Graun at the well-known church tower in the lake, at 1,450 m above the sea level.
The first section of the trail is flat and runs south for about 5 km towards St. Valentin.
Nature lovers can enjoy the beautiful view of the highest mountain in South Tyrol, the Ortler (3,905 m), again and again on the way south.
Then you cross the dam wall and on the opposite side there is a slightly hilly and partly shady section towards the valley station of the Schöneben ski area up to kilometre 11.
The route continues to the harbour facility in Reschen.
On the last flat kilometres, the participants run mostly on gravel and can look forward to a direct view of Lake Resia.
In the background, the church tower shines in the water.
The spectacular finish leads past the audience to the finish.
