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 intense challenge of the PIUT starts in Kappl and stretches from there over 50 km and 3,100 metres in altitude to Galtür and Ischgl. The first section of the route runs backwards along parts of stage 7 of the Paznaun High Route and passes the Diasalpe and the Niederelbehütte. On the southern side of the valley, the route continues via Innerbergli and Außerbergli to Galtür, after which the final section leads leisurely along the valley path to Ischgl. This run offers an intense challenge that leads through the picturesque and varied alpine landscape of the Paznaun and requires both physical and mental endurance.
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. Bus stop: Kappl Dorf
