Description:

In Italy’s spectacular Alta Valtellina mountains, the second edition of the Santa Caterina Vertical KM takes place with a mass start from the centre of the village in the Valfurva. Just three kilometres long, this perfectly designed Vertical Kilometer® climbs exactly 1,000 metres to the Cresta Sobretta summit. In the heart of the Stelvio National Park and overlooked by the imposing peaks of the Ortles-Cevedale mountain range, the inaugural event had the honour of crowning Urban Zemmer, the Vertical Kilometer® world record holder and the reigning Skyrunning World Champion, Elisa Desco. The weekend’s events in the area also include the Livigno SkyMarathon®.
