Trailrunning around Saalbach Hinterglemm
Extremely happy, happy & extreme
I am never lost in the mountains, it’s where I found myself.
Only you and the mountain. Trailrunning is more than a fitness hype – trailrunning trains every part of your body and nourishes the heart & the soul. What trailrunning actually is and why sportsmen love the terrain around the THOMSN for it can be read here.
Trailrunning in Saalbach at its best
Compared to running on flat routes, the share of metres of altitude going up amounts to 5% of the total route. The trails do not run over asphalt and very little on gravel. The characteristic of trail runs lies between cross runners (over fields and meadows) and classical mountain runs. Trail running unites the passion for mountains and for extreme sports.
Saalbach Hinterglemm is predestined for unique trail runs due to its alpine landscape and the smooth hills of the Pinzgau Grasberge. Diverse, challenging and beautiful – what more could you want?
The JOKER TRAILRUN
In addition to different speed trails, marathon trails and endurance trails there is a very special highlight in Saalbach Hinterglemm: The JOKER TRAILRUN. Uphill: run, downhill: take the gondola!
A minimal backpack will be all you need – the only thing that you must not forget is only the JOKER CARD, with which you can use the lifts for free. All in one – on the JOKER TRAILRUN you will master 46.3 km and 3,750 metres of altitude.
Refreshments will wait for you in the over 40 huts in the region – be ready for your new record!
