We know why you’re here! It’s for the kids’ race of 2.5 km, right? 😎
No, no—there’s no way you came to read us to get information about the incredible 😍, the huge 🐘, the legendary 🌟 and challenging KAILAS FUGA Dolomiti Extreme Trail… 🙄 Why? Well, because you have to be seriously motivated to want to take part in one of the other distances on offer: 13 km, 21 km, 38 km, 58 km, 76 km and 102 km. Okay, we’ll give you that—it’s not only for mastodons 🏋️♂️, there are also some lovely shorter distances! 🤏 Now it’s just a matter of which one you’ll prefer to explore the Dolomites 🏔️. Yes! It’s indeed in Forno Di Zoldo, in Veneto, in Northern Italy 🇮🇹 that you’ll have the joy of running. What more is there to say? Bellissimo! 🤌
Since its first edition in 2013 👆, the Dolomiti Extreme Trail has evolved a lot to become today a must-do race in the North of the boot-shaped country 👢. Lovers of high mountains will therefore be happy 🥰 to take part in this trail in the great outdoors 🌿, where the routes have been designed with a master’s hand 🧑🏫. However, this beauty comes at a price: the courses are heavy on elevation and extremely technical 😮💨. The 102 km, for example, includes 6,500 mD+ and will take you to discover the peaks that form the natural backdrop of Val di Zoldo. Same goes for the 76 km (4,800 mD+) and the 58 km (3,600 mD+), which are shorter distances but just as demanding and will already require solid trail experience 👨🦳. Luckily, though, there are more accessible distances! You can also start the 38 km (2,470 mD+), 21 km (1,140 mD+) or the 13 km (670 mD+). There—you’re reassured! 🤗
But since all work deserves pay 💰, know that your efforts will be rewarded! Indeed, a whole host of prizes awaits you and should push you to surpass yourself 🏃♀️. The 21 km, 38 km, 58 km, 76 km and 102 km will respectively earn you 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ITRA points. That’s not nothing! 😅 But wait—there’s better for the competitor you are, since you’ll also secure 20K, 50K and 100K UTMB Index qualifiers! 🌎 If the competition weren’t taking place under the mild June ☀️ weather, you could almost think it’s Christmas 🎄. Finally, the races are part of the ITRA National League and the Europe Trail Cup championship, which awards a cash prize 💵 to the top three men and women in the two existing categories: "Trail" (which includes the DXT 22k, 35k and 55k courses) and "Ultra" (which includes the DXT 76k and 102k) 🤓.
“But what’s so special about these races?”, you wonder 🤔. We’ll answer: several charming advantages. First, of course, they take place in the high mountains of the Dolomites, a region declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They will let you roam the trails and the immense fir forests 🌲 that make up the area. Still far from mass tourism, Val di Zoldo has remained wild 🐻 and therefore offers a preserved course, through unspoiled woods 🪵, incomparable rock formations, and vast scree slopes 🧗♂️. A completely natural race awaits you, made up of small streams 🌊 but also steep slopes 📈. One last piece of information, and not the least: the 76 km and the 102 km are night races 🌒 that will let you observe these spaces from a brand-new perspective and bring a magical, unreal atmosphere to your trail.
So we’ll see you next June, in Forno Di Zoldo, for a batch of extremely delicious events 😋.
Imagine yourself stepping into a Roman arena... You’re there, confident, prepared, and ready to face the gladiator who’s about to come at you... ⚔️ When all of a sudden, you see your opponent approaching! It’s a colossus 🏋️♂️. What do you do? Well, you’d better ask yourself that question, because that’s exactly what you’re going to experience when you find yourself in Forno Di Zoldo, at 850 m altitude, on the starting line of the "DXT 103K" and its 6,500 mD+ 😂.
You’ll actually get very little respite: 2 short km of warm-up on flat ground 📏 before starting your first steep climb 👆 that crosses the wildest, most wooded part of the route. Get ready for tough sections between mountain pines and gravel heading toward Sturlon di Cornìa (1,828 m) all the way to the big grassy basin of Casera Cornigia at km 13. That’s right! Here you are in the Dolomites! After about 15 km, you’ll reach 2,000 m at Forcella Piccola, the gateway to the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. Remember to bring proper shoes because of the ground conditions, and get mentally ready: this is only the beginning! 😉 You’ll then link up descents and climbs toward the Pramperet refuge, then climb back up to the ruins of the Moschesin pass fort at 1,950 m (km 18.5) before dropping back down toward the Pramper mountain refuge (21st km). You’ll continue under the slopes of San Sebastiano on white roads and single tracks to the first time gate at Passo Duran (32nd km). This is the time to be solid on your footing and save your energy!
Right after that, the difficulties begin! The most demanding part of the course kicks off with a fearsome climb up to Bivacco Grisetti (2,050 m altitude) 💥. What a gift! 😅 A tough ascent awaits you, followed by a descent that’s just as demanding down to the aid station at Malga Grava (39th km). Phew, that one should feel good! 😮💨 The route then crosses the slopes of Monte Civetta before plunging to the aid station at Palanche (km 44), then tackling a hard 3 km climb up to Malga Pioda (km 47, aid station). You’ll continue across meadows and grassy slopes to another aid station above 2,000 m, the Belvedere Refuge (51st km), before reaching the Passo Staulanza life base, the second time gate at the 58th km 🚑.
Alright! More than half of the job is done! We don’t know about you, but we’re already exhausted! 😆 Now the route becomes rolling, sometimes muddy, and heads to the base of the Monte Pelmo massif all the way to Zoppè di Cadore, a well-known aid station and time gate at km 69 😈. Obviously, don’t expect any flat either! For that, you should have gone to Amsterdam, not to the Italian Alps. You’ll then continue with about 5 km of an easy section to the aid station at the Talamini refuge, before tackling the forest climb up to the summit of Mount Rite, at 2,180 m altitude 😮 (80th km).
Fast descent (again!) to the aid station at Forcella Cibiana (84th km), the last time gate, and then on to... the final part of the route with the horribly famous Calada descent! 😬 According to the organizers, it must be tackled with great caution, because its profile is punishing: 1,000 mD- over about 1.5 km 📉. You’ll then climb back up to the Bosconero refuge (90th km). Pff! This trail really is a roller coaster! 🎢 Luckily, the final part of the route is on a gentler path 🐱, up to the last aid station at Casera Mugon. You’ll finish with a 3 km descent ✋, then a rolling stretch, which concludes with the last 2 km on asphalt through the villages of Pra, Sommariva and Campo 🏠. Total elevation gain? About 6,500 m. Respect! 🙌
Here we go for the second longest distance of the Dolomiti Extreme Trail! At 76 km long with 4,800 m D+, it will put you through a tough test 💪. Just like the 102 km trail, you’ll start from Forno Di Zoldo.
Starting from Forno 📏, you’ll climb into the wildest, most wooded part of the course up to the aid station at Casera Cornigia (km 13), then on to the 2,000 m of Forcella Piccola, the gateway to the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. You’ll then reach the aid stations at Malga Pramper (km 18.5) and Lake Vach (km 24). Enjoy this brief moment of respite, because after that... 😉
You’ll climb back up toward Col de le Ole 💥 before passing through the hamlets of Sottorogno, Foppa and Cercenà all the way to Fusine (km 34), the first aid station with a time cut-off 🚑. That’s where things get seriously tough! A long climb will take you up to Coi, the highest village in the valley (1,494 m), then to I Lach (km 38), at 1,980 m altitude, at the foot of Monte Pelmo. Nice, right? 😅
Come on, hang in there, you’re halfway! 🎯 We don’t know about you, but we already need a nap! 😆 Here you’ll rejoin the 102 km course, which turns rolling, sometimes muddy (because why make it easy?), and heads to Zoppè di Cadore, a famous aid station and time cut-off at km 45 😈. You’ll then string together about 5 km of a easy section (well, "easy" by this trail’s standards 🙃) to the aid station at Talamini refuge, before tackling the forest climb to the summit of Mont Rite, at 2,180 m altitude 😮 (km 56).
And now, it’s time for the final rollercoaster! 🎢 The trail dives down to Forcella Cibiana (km 60), the last time cut-off, before the dreadfully famous descent of the Calada: 1,000 m D- over about 1.5 km, to be tackled with great caution 📉. You’re getting used to the yo-yos by now, right? After the aid station at Mugon (km 67.5), a rolling trail runs beneath the walls of Castelaz, before one last steep descent on a forest road. Relief is finally in sight! 🙌 The grand finale unfolds over the last 2 km on asphalt 🐱, guiding runners through the charming villages of Pra, Sommariva and Campo to the finish line 🏠. Total elevation gain? About 4,800 m. Hats off, artist! 🎩
For this 58 km route through the Dolomites, you’ll have to take on 3,600 mD+.
You’ll start from the DXT Village in Forno Di Zoldo 🚩 and run for 2 km to the Pratoront plain 🌳. You’ll already be at 1,000 m altitude when you reach Pralongo (km 3)! 👆 Thanks to the forest and pastoral road running alongside the village, you’ll climb to Lake Vach (km 6) before continuing beneath the slopes of San Sebastiano on a single track to Passo Duran (km 11.6).
A technical section will then begin with the tough climb 📈 up to Bivacco Grisetti (2,050 m altitude) and the descent 📉 to the aid station at Malga Grava (km 18.5). After crossing the scree slopes of Monte Civetta, you’ll descend to the aid station at Palanche (km 23.5) 🥤. You’ll enjoy another aid station after a steep climb to Malga Pioda (km 27) before wandering through meadows and grassy slopes toward another aid station, Rifugio Belvedere (km 30.5), and the life base at Passo Staulanza (km 37) 🚑.
You’ll head out on a rolling course to the foot of the Pelmo mountain massif and the aid station at Passo Tamai (km 44) 🍴. From there, two short but tough climbs will take you to Monte Punta (1,950 m altitude), where you’ll have a spectacular panoramic viewpoint, overlooking all the Zoldo Dolomites. A steady 6 km descent will bring you to Casal. The last 2 km cross the villages of Bragarezza, Pra, Sommariva and Campo and finally arrive in Forno 🏁.

You’ll then climb for 5 km to the village of I Lac at 1,980 m altitude at the foot of Mount Pelmo! 🗻 From there, you’ll join the 55 km course and descend to Passo Tamai at km 25.
It’s not over yet: you’ll also need to tackle two short (but steep) climbs to reach Mount Ponta at 1,953 m altitude. 💪.
