ULTRA SKY TRAIL

100 km – For experienced trail runners, wanting to enjoy alpine trails

100 km route will allow you to discover some more alpine trails in the area od Julian Alps. You’ll start your trail running journey in Radovljica, run by the world-famous Lake Bled and then through some peaks with stunning views to Upper Sava Valley to the finish line in Kranjska Gora. There will be more than enough breathtaking views of Julian Alps, some stunning Austrian peaks and mountain valleys.

You start in Radovljica and then after a few kilometers along Sava river you already have the first climb ahead – towards plateau Jelovica. You’ll run through the immense forests and make your way to Babji Zob, where you’ll already see your next goal – Bled. The descent from Babji zob is quite steep so you’ll quickly reach the world-famous lake. Then the way leads you along the southern part of the lake, where’ll you’ll enjoy stunning views of the castle and the tiny island. Along the gorge and then towards the biggest climb of your race – there is 1700 meters of elevation gain waiting for you from Žirovnica towards Stol.

All your hard effort will be more than worth it, as you’ll run along one of the most stunning Slovenian mountain ridges once you reach your highest goal. From Stol, along Golica, Hruški vrh and towards Dovška baba – almost 30 kilometers of incredible trails right at the top of the ridge.

Then you’ll descend towards the valley, where you’ll see river Sava again. But no worries, as there is one more climb waiting for you – towards Srednji vrh, where you’ll enjoy one of the most breath-taking views of Julian Alps. Then you only have 5 kilometers of descent left and you’ll be at the finish line in Kranjska Gora.
