The event for trail runners & hikers in the Werdenfelser Land
New hiking and running event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The first edition of the GaPa Trail will take place on April 27, 2024. It's a running event for hikers, trail runners, and the whole family. The start and finish of the various routes is the Olympic Ski Stadium in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The perfect combination of sport and enjoyment in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The GaPa Trail brings hikers and runners together.
Whether you're wearing hiking or trail running shoes, you can choose between three route lengths: long, medium, and short. The difference is that trail runners and hikers have different start times, and only trail runners are timed.
All participants benefit from regional specialties at the refreshment and food stations along the route. In addition to light regional snacks, water and soft drinks are also available for all participants.
The Explorer Hotel Garmisch in Farchant serves as a base camp for athletes and is the perfect accommodation for your GaPa Trail stay. From Farchant, you can quickly reach Garmisch by train and bus, and after a successful run, you'll find the perfect opportunity to regenerate in the Explorer Hotel's sports spa, complete with sauna, steam bath, and infrared cabin.
Attention: We'll be there too! 🎉
Come by & win a vacation
