The Paznaun Ischgl Ultra Trail (PIUT) is an exciting trail running event in the Austrian Alps that offers participants a variety of challenges.
Description
The ultimate challenge of the PIUT starts in Galtür and runs over 30 km and 2,500 metres in altitude on the north-western side of the valley to Ischgl. Based on stage 5 of the Paznaun High Route, the route leads over the Zeinissee lake to the Friedrichshafener Hütte lodge. There you run a high alpine loop, followed by the descent to Mathon. Due to its high alpine character, this Skyrace should not be underestimated despite the comparatively low number of kilometres and is designed for experienced runners.
With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley.
