Alpenplus Ötzi Trailrun
Our editorial team always tries to provide detailed and accurate information, but it is possible that events undergo changes that we are unable to update in real time. Exact details on dates, times and programmes can be obtained directly from the organiser.Inspired by the former Ötzi Alpin Marathon – an extreme triathlon winding its way through orchards and past glaciers – Naturns has hosted its own event for mountain and trail runners since 2021. The 7th edition of the Alpenplus Ötzi Trail Run will take place from 8 to 10 April 2027 and offers a range of distances for ambitious trail runners, young runners and amateur athletes.
Trail runs ranging from 8 to 45 kilometres
New for 2027 is the Ötzi Ultra Trail, covering 45 kilometres and 3,400 metres of elevation gain. This challenging long-distance route takes runners along the Meran High Trail, across suspension bridges and through the spectacular 1,000-Step Gorge, amongst other highlights.
Also on offer are the Sunny Mountain Trail, covering 30 km with 2,100 metres of elevation gain, and the Naturns Skyrace, covering 15 km with 1,150 metres of elevation gain. Beginners can get a taste of trail running with the Ötzi Just for Fun over 8 km and 400 metres of elevation gain, whilst young people tackle the same distance in the Ötzi Junior Run.
The Ötzi Vertical kicks off the race weekend as early as Thursday 8 April: over 4.2 km, participants must climb 760 metres in altitude to reach the Unterstell mountain station. For the youngest runners, there is also the Ötzi Kids Run, featuring age-appropriate routes and obstacles.
The Alpenplus Ötzi Trail Run 2027 thus offers a varied programme for different ability levels – from a first trail running experience to a challenging ultra-distance race on the Sonnenberg in Naturns.
