The Delicious Festival Dolomiti is co-organised by L5T SPORT ASD, Consorzio Delicious Cortina and the Town Council of Cortina d'Ampezzo, and with the backing of Regole d'Ampezzo, the Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti d’Ampezzo, the Cortina branch of the Club Alpino Italiano, the Alta Badia Tourism Cooperative, Alta Badia Brand, and the Town Council of Badia.
Three trail-running races will be held on the trails of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site, amidst history, nature, flavourful food and overwhelming beauty.
THE THREE ROUTES
Now in its eighth edition, the Delicious Trail Dolomiti (2 ITRA points and UTMB index EVENT 50K), will be covering approximately 43 kilometres with an elevation gain of 3,100 metres. The race starts in the centre of Cortina, then the route leads to Pocol, Croda Da Lago, 5 Torri, Nuvolau, Mt. Lagazuoi and the Falzarego Pass. It crosses the most extensive open-air museum of the Great War fought at high altitude in the Dolomites and the Lagazuoi tunnel at 2,647 m above sea level. The finish line is in the Cortina district of Pocol.
The route of the third edition of the Medium Delicious Trail Dolomiti (1 ITRA point and UTMB index EVENT 50K) is 35 kilometres long with an elevation gain of 1,900 metres. The race starts in the Badia Valley, in the centre of La Villa, in front of the tourist office. The route follows for a stretch the “Path of the Artists”, takes the runners up to Mt. Lagazuoi at an altitude of 2,778 m, and then descends to the finish line at Pocol.
The eighth edition of the Short Delicious Trail Dolomiti (1 ITRA point and UTMB index EVENT 20K) is a 22 km long running race, with an elevation gain of 1,300 metres with the starting and finishing line at the Cortina district of Pocol. A shorter but equally spectacular route, as it passes some highly scenic points such as the 5 Torri and the
Nuvolau mountain group.
The routes of these three races are stunning, offering a unique blend of physical challenges and delectable cuisine: the event is known for its prominent mountain refuges and restaurants located along the routes, where the participants can indulge in the delicious Ampezzo and South Tyrolean specialities.
