About the event
The central section follows the classic route of the DXT 53 K, with evocative scree traverses on some of the most famous mountains of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site, including the Civetta and the Pelmo.
The final section of the track (DXT 103K) leads to the summit of the panoramic Mount Rite (2,183 m), home of the Messner Mountain Museum, the “Museum in the clouds”, built on the remains of World War I fortifications. It then climbs up towards the group of Bosconero with splendid views of the Rocchette and the Toanèlla and finally descends steeply into the valley.

53 km
Here, the terrain alternates between wide glacial circles and “solitary furrowed fields”. It is incredibly solemn and extremely exiting to run through the gigantic base of the “Grande Civetta” until the Coldai Hut (km 27,5 – refreshment – 2135 m).
You then run at the foot of the isolated yet grandiose Mount PELMO, a mountain that polarises your vision, a mountain considered to be amongst the most fascinating and unique of the Dolomites with the Staulanza Hut (km 37 – refreshment – 1766 m).
Finally, after Tamai pass (km 43,5 – refreshment – 1715 m), the trail reaches the spectacular panoramic point of the Monte PUNTA (km 47 – 1952 m). Southwards from here you will be able to admire the BOSCO NERO and SPIZ di MEZZODI’, that complete the coronation of the valley.

Course details
Course highlights
"Dolomiti Extreme Trail" boasts six races: ranging from the spearhead - the 103k which will lead you to the discovery of all the mountains that crown the Val di Zoldo; to the equally captivating 72k, 55k, 22k, 11k to the Mini DXT for young runners. The Val di Zoldo, which has remained distant from mass tourism, has been able to preserve the wild charm of the mountain and its ancient paths, thus offering a "pure" trail through uncontaminated woods, incomparable rock formations and vast scree, along paths that will lead you to cross small streams, jump roots and climb steep slopes, entranced by the majesty of some of the most beautiful peaks of the Dolomites declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
