Anyone who wants to venture into ultra-distance running without having to tackle high alpine terrain. Please note: this route involves a lot of running! The technical difficulty level is moderate.
The K65 is for those who want to venture a long distance: covering 68.9 kilometers and 2,640 meters of elevation gain, you will circle Innsbruck and discover the fascinating Alpine landscape. Moderate inclines with flowing trails offer an exciting profile for ultra veterans and those tackling their first ultra trail.
A trail for the brave who want to complete a distance of 60+ km, as well as for seasoned ultra runners who want to test their fitness after the winter. The finest panoramic views and wonderful trails are the icing on the cake.
