Good to know

Which are the main characteristics of the Sellaronda Skimarathon and what distinguishes this unique event?

We are talking about an historical event, one of the first ski touring races in South Tyrol. The panorama route turns this night race into a stunning experience in terms of landscape, length and difference in elevation. Witnessing the Sella Group on skis at night. Do you need anything else?    

Sense of challenge is the driving force of any exploit: how about this event?

Effort, stamina, cold, limited visibility: it's night and we are at high altitudes. All around are the majestically towering peaks of the Sella Group. That's what it's all about, and it's by no means trivial.

How much time will it take for a decent night-marathon-skier to complete the loop?

Trained legs, technique, stamina and skills are essential. The Sellaronda Skimarathon calls for trained athletes that take between four and five hours to complete the marathon. Pretty impressive.  

Does the race always start from Corvara?

No, each year it starts from a different location: Corvara, Arabba, Canazei or Selva di Val Gardena.

What are climbing skins and how are they produced?

Climbing skins (or ski skins) are an essential piece of ski touring equipment which allows skiers to ascend the steep and snow-covered slopes without sliding backwards. These are either made of mohair, nylon or a combination of both.   

Can ski touring, in the light of climate change, provide a sustainable alternative to skiing?

Absolutely. However, it not only takes a purely technical but also a mindful approach to this sports discipline. Ski touring is not about hit-and-runs, it’s based on an understanding of the mountains that differs greatly from the funfair.
