The format of the previous edition has been confirmed, with two stages in the mountains on the border between Veneto and Friuli, but this time we are also part of La Grande Course together with Altitoy in the Pyrenees and the Tour de Rutor in Valle d'Aosta.
The Italian VERTICAL Championship will be a tasty appetiser for all categories, seniors and juniors, on 20 December 2025 in Piancavallo, where we are now at home and have enjoyed a consolidated partnership with Promoturismo FVG for over 10 years. The route will be the classic one from the 2017 World Championships and the 2022 World Masters Championships, from Piancavallo to Val dei Sass and the refuge of the same name, and it is sure to be a spectacular event.
The 43rd Transcavallo, on the other hand, will see its first stage on Friday 27 February 2026 in Piancavallo in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with an INDIVIDUAL OPEN formula and on the same route, snow permitting. So, almost the same as the 2017 Vertical World Championships, but with the
summit of Monte Trèmol to climb and then descend to reach the Val dei Sass with a final short climb.
The second and final stage will take place on Saturday 28 February 2026, a classic OPEN TEAM event in Tambre in Alpago, Veneto, again on the daring and spectacular ridges that have made ski mountaineering history in the contemporary era, spread over more than 22km and 2,500m D+. The winners will be those who, adding up the two individual results from Friday and the team race, have achieved the best overall time.
Also on Saturday 28 February, the 6th edition of the ‘Classic Individual Race’ will take place, again organised by F.I.S.I. and OPEN, suitable for those who want to experience the spirit of Transcavallo individually over a manageable distance that is no less fascinating and rewarding in terms of technicality and beauty of the route, with final awards.
Finally, on Sunday 1 March, on part of the Classic route, there will be the Italian U20 - U18 - U16 Classic Championships, with the U12 and U14 categories also participating, but without titles being awarded.
Finally, we are once again offering the “Experience Ski-Alp 3.0”, which will be a gathering open to all, without any competitive element but in complete safety. The route will be the same as for the youth categories, with the possibility of choosing the route that best suits you.
With three days so full of events, there will also be entertainment and ceremonies in the convivial area set up in Tambre from Friday to Sunday.
Finally, we must not forget to thank the many volunteers and collaborators, who have always been the beating heart of the event. A huge thank you to all the institutions in Veneto and Friuli and to the sponsors who firmly believe in the values of sport conveyed by these events and in what such initiatives bring in terms of visibility and tourism for our mountain resorts. As always, our thanks
go to all the police forces who support us and to the Veneto and Friuli Mountain Rescue Services for their constant and competent presence in support of the event.

ALÉ AND LONG LIFE TO THE TRANSACAVALLO!!!
