New for the 2025 edition, it features pure “Extreme” style elevation changes, but without the exposed sections that characterize the three longest races. Crossing scree, lush woods and pleasant villages, you can experience all the charm of DXT and Val di Zoldo.
Departure from the DXT Village in Forno at 850 m above sea level.
After the initial 2 kms that lead to the Pratoront plain, you reach Pralongo at 1000 m above sea level (4th km); near the small church, you take the uphill forestry-pastoral road that reaches the Vach lake (6th km). You continue on a steep path to the scree of Vant dei Gravinai and to the Val Barance fork, at 1670 m above sea level (9th km) where the descent begins, first on a path then on a dirt road, to Dont (12th km). You go back up through Foppa, Cercenà, a tiny village with only one inhabitant, and Fusine (refreshment point 17th km). The route continues with a long climb of about 5 km, reaching Coi, the highest village in the valley at 1494 m above sea level and the locality I Lac (21st km, 1980 m above sea level), at the foot of the majestic Mount Pelmo. Here you join the 72k and 55k route and descend to the refreshment point of Passo Tamai (23rd km).
With two short but steep climbs you reach the top of Mount Punta at 1950 m above sea level, a spectacular panoramic point over the entire Zoldo Dolomites, followed by a regular 6 km descent on a military road to Casal.
The last 2 kms is on asphalt, crossing the villages of Bragarezza, Pra, Sommariva and Campo and finally the arrival in Forno.
The gradient change is approximately 2000 m.
