Engadin Trail 23km
La Punt-Chamues-ch - Samedan
ET23
Half the distance, full nature experience
The half marathon distance for trail running newbies
The race starts in the historic village center of La Punt. The route leads over the main road towards the Albula Pass, up to God Arvins. There the route joins the Via Engiadina with the EUT102 and EUT53.
A breathtaking trail heads towards Bever, where the first refreshment station is waiting. Strengthened, it goes on the final ascent to Alp Muntatsch and on via the Padella Panorama Trail with its unique view towards the Bernina massif to Marguns.
From Marguns there is a descent towards Samedan, where the well-deserved destination is in the Promulins Arena.
The ET23 is completed on the principle of partial self-sufficiency. The participants eat independently between the posts and have the obligatory material according to the competition regulations with them along the entire route.
