Ultratrail on the Paznaun High Route at the 2nd PIUT 2025

On 11 and 12 July 2025, the Paznaun Ischgl Ultra Trail (PIUT) returns to the impressive mountain landscape of the Paznaun - Ischgl region. With five different routes ranging from 20 to 100 kilometres, the competition offers a unique challenge for experienced trail runners and beginners alike. Registration is now open.

In line with the slogan "for unique challenges", the 2^nd PIUT also offers runners the choice between five routes of varying difficulty, each leading through the high alpine landscape of the 130-kilometre Paznaun High Route. The races start in the four villages in Paznaun - See, Kappl, Ischgl and Galtür - and all finish together in Ischgl, where all participants are duly welcomed.

The newest and longest challenge is the PIUT 100, which covers 101 kilometres and 6,300 metres in altitude from See via Kappl and Galtür to Ischgl. This is followed by the PIUT 85, already known from last year, which also leads from See via Kappl and Galtür to Ischgl over 89 kilometres and 5,200 metres in altitude. For ambitious runners, the PIUT 50 offers a challenging route with 53 kilometres and 3,100 metres of altitude from Kappl. The PIUT 30 starts in Galtür and challenges participants with 2,500 metres of altitude over a distance of 30 kilometres. The PIUT 20 is ideal for beginners, starting from Ischgl and covering 20 kilometres and 1,300 metres in altitude.

PIUT TEN and PIUT KIDS RUN

In addition to the main races, there is also a shorter 10-kilometre PIUT TEN, which is especially designed for amateur runners. The proceeds from this charity run will be donated to charity projects. The PIUT KIDS RUN presented by Volksbank Tirol takes place for the youngest runners. Here, children can compete in an age-appropriate race and gain their first competitive experience. Participation in the PIUT KIDS RUN is free of charge.

Registration and prize money

Registration for the PIUT 2025 is already open, participants can register online until 11 July 2025 and secure a starting place. Early bookers can still benefit from a reduced entry fee until 1 January 2025, which varies depending on the route chosen. A total prize money of over 15,000 Euro awaits all successful participants.

There will also be a team competition again in 2025: The team of five that achieves the shortest overall time on the five routes will receive prize money of 1,000 Euro.

Route and supporting programme

The Paznaun Ischgl Ultra Trail runs along large sections of the Paznaun High Route, which is considered one of the most challenging alpine trails in the region. Over a total of 130 kilometres, the trail leads from See via Kappl and Ischgl to Galtür and back again on the opposite side of the valley. Trail runners experience spectacular views of the Silvretta, Samnaun and Verwall groups. The high-altitude trail is a key challenge as it offers technically demanding passages and varied terrain.

In the valley, the PIUT 2025 will be accompanied by a varied supporting programme that will appeal to participants and spectators alike. The focus is on the PIUT Expo, which presents the latest trends and equipment in trail running. Some of the renowned partners of the Paznaun - Ischgl Tourism Association such as Asics, Skinfit, LEKI and Gloryfy will also be there. In addition, runners and spectators can expect a great atmosphere with music, catering and entertainment in every village.
