42^ TRANSCAVALLO
21-22 FEBRUARY 2025, ALPAGO - PIANCAVALLO
It’s always TRANSCAVALLO!
Now in its 42nd edition, Transcavallo returns with its two-day, multi-stage race across the border mountains of Veneto and Friuli, in a refreshed and updated format.
On Friday, February 21, 2025, the 1st stage will take place in Piancavallo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Nearly a vertical race, this INDIVIDUAL event will feature an entirely new route, following part of the 2017 World Championship Vertical track and culminating at the summit of Monte Trèmol before descending and climbing back up to the Val dei Sass Refuge. This FISI & OPEN race will have dedicated awards.
On Saturday, February 22, 2025, the classic OPEN TEAM race takes place in Veneto, at Tambre-Alpago, as part of the Italian FISI Cup (the only team race in the cup). Covering over 2,500m D+ across sharp peaks and steep technical couloirs, this route has made ski mountaineering history. Awards will be presented for the Italian Cup, along with final awards for the 42nd Transcavallo, based on combined times from both the team race and the individual times recorded by the same athletes in the Piancavallo stage.
Also on Saturday, February 22, the 5th edition of the “Classic Individual Race” (FISI & OPEN) will be held, designed for those who want to experience the spirit of Transcavallo individually. This race covers a more approachable distance but offers the same technicality and scenic beauty, with final awards for participants.
In a new format, the “Experience Ski-Alp 3.0” ski touring event will be a non-competitive gathering open to all, following a shortened route that runs alongside the main race track, allowing participants to watch and cheer on some of the world’s top athletes. Like the competitive races, the package includes a participation gadget and a lunch.
On Sunday, February 23, the 47th Italian Alpine Troops Championship – A.N.A. Team Ski Mountaineering Race will take place, covering part of the Classic route.
With three days packed with events, there will be no shortage of entertainment and the traditional ceremonies that only the Alpine Troops can deliver. An expo will also be held in the social area of the Tambre pavilion from Friday to Sunday.
To wrap up, we extend heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and collaborators who have always been the beating heart of this event. A huge thank you to the Veneto and Friuli institutions and our sponsors, who believe deeply in the values of sport promoted by these events and the visibility and tourism they bring to our mountain areas. Our gratitude also goes to the law enforcement agencies that support us and to the Veneto and Friuli Mountain Rescue Teams for their constant and skilled assistance, supporting Transcavallo for all of us.
ALÉ!
