GranFondo Val Casies 2024

On the third weekend in February, as every year, the annual “Gran Fondo Val Casies” cross-country skiing competition takes place. Held for the first time in 1984 in the heart of Plan de Corones, for the past 39 editions, the marathon has attracted skiers of all ages, experience and part of the world over the years.

With its 2400 participants from all over the world and 35 nations, the Gran Fondo Val Casies is considered the largest event in South Tyrol and is the 2nd largest marathon in Italy. The complete route is approx. 42 km long and links the three main villages in the Gsies Valley, and can be run in classic style (CT) or skating style (FT). On Saturday you can ski in classic style, while on Sunday you can skate. The race starts and ends in St.Martin.

On Saturday afternoon children can compete in the “Mini Gsies Valley in Val Casies”, the cross-country skiing competition entirely dedicated to them.
