Most marathons let you freewheel to the line. This one finishes at the top of Kronplatz, roughly 2,275m up. The finish goes up, not down, decided on a big sustained climb on already shattered legs.
The route
From the valley the course strings together long sustained climbs and technical alpine descents across the Kronplatz massif, saving the biggest ascent for last: the decisive climb to the roughly 2,275m summit finish.
Late-August, Plan de Corones / Kronplatz
Highs around 18°C and lows around 8°C, but it has dropped to -2°C. Rain on 63% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
