L=55 km D+ = 4141 m D-=4482 m
The Royal Ultra Sky Marathon Gran Paradiso is the skyrunning race of Gran Paradiso (L=55 km -D+=4141 m-D-=4482 m-altitudes between 1476 and 3002 m- 7 passes). The route takes place in the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy - Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta) specifically on the southern side, in the upper Orco Valley. The start is from Lake Teleccio in the Piantonetto Valley and the finish line is on the shore of Lake Ceresole Reale.
The route is mainly on trails (largely coinciding with the ancient Royal Hunting Roads of Gran Paradiso); there are sections on challenging terrain including scree, exposed and snowy sections with steep slopes (during the race, the most critical sections are equipped with ropes or chains). The course is marked with red route flags bearing the race logo.
Along the route, refreshment points, first aid stations, and checkpoints are set up (see the following diagrams and tables).
The race, taking place within the Gran Paradiso National Park, crosses areas of beautiful and sensitive wilderness that require the utmost respect from athletes.
