Paznaun Challenge – hike or run the Silvretta Ferwall March virtually

With beautiful peaks, rustic huts, and dreamy mountain lakes, the Paznaun Valley in Austria is a wonderful area to explore on foot, be it hiking or trail running. As part of the Paznaun Challenge, you are now invited to explore this region, virtually.

Whether you are an ambitious trail runner, keen hiker, or active family, you can all take part in the Paznaun Challenge. The region’s magnificent mountains are a magical place for everyone to explore. This year, we’ve come up with something special – the Silvrettarun 3000 and the Silvretta Ferwall March – which will take place throughout the summer. You can participate in the events virtually from 8 July to 30 September 2020 using the Paznaun Challenge App.

You can choose from four routes through the Paznaun as part of the Silvretta Ferwall March
Challenge: Hike the Breitspitze peak on the Silvretta route, explore two lakes on the family variant, or take on one of the longer routes – the Marathon or the (slightly) shorter Ferwall route.

If you prefer running rather than hiking, then you can run one of the two Silvrettarun 3000 variants. Leading through stunning nature, both of the routes are wonderful to explore.

But how can you participate in the challenge given the current pandemic? Simply download the Paznaun Challenge App, choose a route, and get started! The app records your hike or run and when you finish one or more of the routes, you have the chance to win a nice prize. Challenge accepted? We are already looking forward to it!

Save-the-date: If you prefer to hike together, you can run the Silvretta Ferwall March on 22 August 2020 on the day of the real event. However, the Silvrettarun 3000 cannot be held in 2020 due to current coronavirus regulations.
