Event of the year for trail runners in the Werdenfelser Land
Germany's largest hiking and running event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
From June 16-18, 2023, the legendary Salomon Zugspitz Ultratrail powered by Ledlenser will once again take place in the Olympic city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. A running event for runners and trail runners from all over the world.
The perfect combination of sport and enjoyment in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Whether you're a professional or amateur runner, trail runners from all over the world come together here! The run around Germany's highest mountain is considered the ultimate destination for the trail running community. You can choose from a total of six race or competition routes. The differences lie in the different start times for the trail runners, the respective locations, and the distances covered by the various routes.
The finish line of all six routes was Richard-Strauss-Platz in the city center.
All participants benefited from small regional snacks, water, and soft drinks at the aid stations.
The Explorer Hotel Garmisch in Farchant serves as a base camp for athletes and is the perfect accommodation for your ZUT stay. From Farchant, you can quickly reach Garmisch by train and bus, and after a successful run, you'll find the perfect regeneration option in the Explorer Hotel's sports spa with sauna, steam bath, and infrared cabin.
Come along & win a holiday
