Saisera Crossing 18
Saisera Crossing 18 combines the speed of the Valbruna 10 course, crossing the whole of Val Saisera point-to-point, with the adrenaline sprint and climbing of Grego 8: the distance designed for those seeking a perfect balance between pace and ascent.
About 18 kilometres and 741 metres of ascent, perfectly balanced: an opening stretch to loosen the legs and build speed, a more intense middle section, and a very fast return to Kile Alpine Resort.
Start from Valbruna at 10:30 am, in competitive and non-competitive form. A shuttle runs between Kile Alpine Resort — the former Valbruna gunpowder magazine — and the village roughly every 20 minutes, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, included with registration.
A different approach
Cutoffs and maximum times are also designed with fast hiking in mind: here, the journey counts as much as the clock. Less support along the course, more self-sufficiency required — it's a choice, not a shortcoming.

Via Saisera 65, Malborghetto-Valbruna (UD): the logistical heart of the Alpe Adria Ultra Trail, deep in Val Saisera.
The Race Hub is in Val Saisera, not in the centre of Valbruna village: right in the forest, in true trail spirit.
Event parking is free, outside the resort, about 150 metres away: follow signs P3, P4, P5 and P6 — P6 is the closest, P1 and P2 are further away. Motorhomes and vans use the same car park as cars.
On the valley road, the local cooperative's private checkpoint is confirmed again for 2027 (hours and prices to be finalised): it's a service separate from the organisation — event parking stays free.
