About the Race

Questo percorso vi porterà, lungo sentieri arditi costruiti con sapienza ed arte dalle popolazioni locali nei secoli addietro, verso laghetti alpini di incomparabile bellezza ed attraverso valichi e cime, i cui nomi ci riportano alla letteratura del luogo ed alle vicissitudini dei personaggi del libro “Il fondo del sacco” di Plinio Martini. Assaporerete le infinite salite create per portare gli animali sugli alpeggi e poter così sopravvivere in un ambiente tanto bello quanto duro. La Natura qui ha dato il meglio di sé e potrete portare a casa dei ricordi indelebili.

This route will take you along daring paths built with wisdom and art by the local people in centuries past, towards Alpine lakes of incomparable beauty and across passes and peaks, whose names take us back to local literature and the vicissitudes of the characters in the book 'Il fondo del sacco' by Plinio Martini. You will savour the endless climbs created to bring animals to the mountain pastures and thus be able to survive in an environment that is as beautiful as it is harsh. Nature has given its best here, and you will take home indelible memories. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
