The Trail Running Event at a Glance

The Terra Raetica Trails Tour Festival is a multi-day trail running event in the border region of Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. Over the course of five days, runners traverse five regions. The race begins in the Kaunertal valley. It continues through the Tyrolean Oberland and Samnaun, then on to Nauders, and finally to the finish line at Lake Reschen, where the triumphant winners will be celebrated.

Stage 3 in Samnaun

The Samnaun Trail is a diverse trail tour featuring easy sections at the start and finish, varied terrain, and impressive panoramic views. The sections near the Rotes Seeli and the technically runnable trails in particular make this stage a truly memorable experience.

From Samnaun, the route begins gently along the Märchenweg before branching left onto beautiful trails leading into the valley. Further along, the terrain becomes steeper, and the ascent leads up to the 2,659-meter-high Stammerjoch. At the top, an impressive view opens up of the nearly 3,300-meter-high Muttler, the highest peak in the Samnaun Group.

The trail then descends into the valley and climbs again on the opposite side toward the Muttler. At the Red Lake (Rotes Seeli) at just under 2,600 meters, the route veers sharply to the left and leads back along the trail to a forest road, continuing on to the starting point.
