AMA: ALAGNA-MARGHERITA-ALAGNA

The Monte Rosa SkyMarathon is an international skyrunning competition that takes place in Alagna Valsesia. An exciting and long-awaited race, to be covered in pairs, which follows the original route completed for the first time in 1993.

It starts from Alagna Valsesia (1192 m) and ends the race at Capanna Margherita (4554 m) passing through Bocchetta delle Pisse, Punta Indren station, Rifugio Gnifetti and finally from Colle del Lys.

The route develops over a difference in height of 7000 m and covers a total distance of 35 km between climbs, descents, trails, ski slopes and glaciers.

AN INCREDIBLE RACE

A unique event in the world, in pure skyrunning style, for athletes who love to run in the mountains and want to test themselves in a tough race that will make them touch the sky with a finger crossing moraines, snow-covered paths and glaciers.

An exciting, authentic experience that has always attracted the greatest skyrunning athletes and ski mountaineering champions from all over the globe.

Rock, snow and ice will accompany the athletes during this challenge of international caliber: this is what will animate Monte Rosa on 25 June, an event not to be missed.

HISTORY

The first edition of the AMA (Alagna-Monterosa-Alagna) was in 1992.

In 1994 the Italians Fabio Meraldi and Gisella Bendotti set the records, still unbeaten, who completed the course in 4h 24 ‘and 5h 35’.

The race was relaunched in 2018 with a new format, in which competitors compete in pairs, tied for safety reasons and wear micro-crampons at the top of the course.

AMA VK2 – A DOUBLE VERTICAL KILOMETER

In addition to the pairs race, the #MonteRosaSkyMarathon, the # AMAVK2, an individual race that reaches 3,260 m at the Indren Station, is also part of the format of the event.

The route starts from Alagna Valsesia (1192 m) passing from Bocchetta delle Pisse (2396 m), up to Indren Station (3260 m), for a total length of 9 km and 2086 m of elevation gain.
