Glacier Trailrun

In the "Diamond of the Alps"

The trail running event

The Glacier Run brings trail running fans from all over Europe to Obergurgl - and the Gurgl Carat becomes the centrepiece of the event. Whether it's the race packet pickup, race briefing, expert lecture, interviews or the big award ceremony: many of the most important programme items take place directly in the congress and event centre.

State-of-the-art technology meets alpine scenery - the perfect set-up for sport, emotion and encounters.
