After 860 kilometers: Dahlmeier, Jung and Co. at their destination

The last section took the team with Daniel Jung from Vinschger, Hannes Perkmann from Sarnen and two-time biathlon Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier on a route of 66 kilometers with 3200 meters of altitude from the Tonale Pass via Ponte di Legno and Bormio up to the Stelvio Pass.

In addition to the two South Tyroleans and the former biathlete from Germany, other strong trail riders included Martina Valmassoi from Pieve di Cadore, Marco De Gasperin from Bormio, Eva Sperger from Munich, Hannes Namberger from Ruhpolding in Germany and the Austrians Jakob Hermann, Tom Wagner and Ina Forchthammer -Runner included.

As on Monday, the team had to change the route slightly and run at lower altitudes because it had snowed heavily at altitude on Sunday. “It's obviously a shame that we couldn't run the original route. As a result, we were unable to view some positions along the mountain front. Of course, the safety of the athletes comes first,” explained course manager Freddy Mair.

On Tuesday, Ugo De Gasperi, the father of participant Marco De Gasperi, impressed with his knowledge of the First World War in the Bormio area. He presented the AlpFrontTrail athletes with bullet casings, a saber and numerous other finds that the spry gentleman had collected over the past few years. Last kilometers together By the way, all participants and the organization team ran the last 3 kilometers to the Stelvio Pass together. When they arrived at the 2757 meter high hill, there was great joy at the successful end of the “AlpFrontTrail” mission. At the same time, however, there was also a little pain of saying goodbye, knowing full well that the individual participants would be leaving for their homes in a few hours. “The group worked extremely well and has merged into a tight-knit unit over the past few days.” The organizers Philipp Reiter and Harald Wisthaler “It was a brilliant time. The group has worked extremely well and has merged into a tight-knit unit over the past few days. We were able to experience a lot of adventures and are just grateful that everything worked so smoothly,” summed up the organizers Philipp Reiter (Bad Reichenhall) and Harald Wisthaler (Innichen).

A lot of work behind the scenes At the end, Reiter and Wisthaler also sent a big thank you to the team that worked behind the scenes and to the partners Suunto and the 3 Zinnen region. “The fact that the AlpFronttrail went according to plan and smoothly is certainly thanks to them. “Caroline Gredler (organisation), Michael Mair at Tinkhof (video), Freddy Mair (track) were always there when they were needed, as were Nicolas Holtzmeyer (Marketing Manager Suunto DACH) and Gabriel Fauster (Region 3 Zinnen),” said Riders and Wisthalers. Under the patronage of the European Region Tyrol The project, which is under the patronage of the European Region Tyrol South Tyrol Trentino and chaired by South Tyrol Governor Arno Kompatscher, will officially be completed in spring 2021. The most beautiful images of the AlpFrontTrail will be presented as part of a photo exhibition in public spaces in San Candido, Riva del Garda, as well as the three capitals of the European region of Bolzano, Trento and Innsbruck. There will also be longer reports on television, for example on ZDF and RAI Südtirol.
