La GM260 K

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:09:49 GMT

The Great Wall 260K is an endurance trail race set to start on Wednesday 9 June at 6.00 pm from Pinerolo (TO), which will see athletes put themselves to the test on a 260-kilometre route that encompasses history and nature, fortifications, ancient paths and Alpine valleys.

The Grande Muraglia 260K was conceived, drawing inspiration from major international endurance trail events such as the Tor des Glaciers, the PTL and the 360° Challenge Transgrancanaria.

Whilst Alessandra Nicoletti and Ermanno Pollet built the story of their great adventures starting from the trails of the Alta Via 1 and 2 in the Aosta Valley, Omar Riccardi and Gianluca Logozzo have chosen to set off on a new route strongly supported by local authorities: “Le Strade dei Forti”. A trek of over 230 kilometres starting from the Pinerolo plain, created with the aim of promoting a region which, thanks to the strong support of local authorities, now finds in La Grande Muraglia 260K a further way to raise its profile.

La Grande Muraglia 260K will be a self-navigated race. This is a choice the organisers have tailored to the specific characteristics of the mountains crossed, seeking a balance between a spirit of adventure and safety. “It is therefore not a race on a route that is fully signposted and monitored metre by metre: athletes will have to navigate and manage their progress independently. But autonomy does not mean improvisation. In fact, the route will always follow existing and marked trails, even where these are classified as difficulty levels E and EE for hiking,” explain the organisers.

For a race of this length, race management will be a fundamental part of the challenge.

There will be three aid stations, at Fenestrelle, Massello and Pomaretto, each with its own time checkpoint.

There will also be 15 refreshment points along the route, whilst the maximum time allowed to complete the 260 kilometres will be 99 hours.

The Grande Muraglia 260K will traverse a mosaic of landscapes and valleys. The route will pass through Val Lemina, Val Noce, Val Sangone, Valle di Susa, Val Chisone, Val Troncea, Vallone di Massello and Val Germanasca.

Thirteen municipalities will be crossed:

Pinerolo, Pinasca, Roure, Fenestrelle, Usseaux, Pragelato, Massello, Salza di Pinerolo, Inverso Pinasca, Pramollo, Pomaretto, Prali and Perrero.

It’s not just the 260 km race. Although all eyes are now on the 260K La Grande Muraglia, with a maximum of 150 race numbers, there will be room for two further races: 75K La Fortezza, starting from the Fenestrelle Fortress on Saturday morning; La Grande Muraglia VK (vertical race), also starting from the Fenestrelle Fortress on Saturday morning.

Saturday will be Open Day: the clubs will open the doors to their training facilities, offering the chance to find out more about their activities and, in many cases, to try them out first-hand in the venues where they take place throughout the year.

On Sunday, the heart of the festival will be Piazza Aldo Moro, where sport will move out of the facilities to meet the city: the clubs’ stands, activities open to the public, and demonstrations and performances on stage will allow visitors to try out numerous sports for free, under the guidance of coaches and instructors.

HAT Sanremo–Sestriere

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:17:06 GMT

Giunta alla sua 18ª edizione, la HAT Sanremo–Sestriere è il punto d’incontro internazionale per motociclisti di ogni età ed esperienza. Un’avventura unica che unisce piloti da tutto il mondo lungo un percorso spettacolare: dalla partenza sul mare di Sanremo, con il suo grande paddock, fino alle Alpi più autentiche di Sestriere, attraversando le storiche strade militari d’alta quota.

La HAT non è semplicemente una traccia GPX: è un’esperienza completa fatta di avventura, amicizia, scoperte e sfide personali da condividere con una comunità appassionata compresi i campioni del moto rally, dell’enduro e della Dakar, che arricchiscono l’evento con racconti, consigli e l’emozione autentica dei grandi raid.

La HAT Sanremo-Sestriere non ha cronometri né podi: la vera sfida è con te stesso. Ogni partecipante affronta il percorso con l’obiettivo di superare i propri limiti, migliorare le proprie capacità fisiche e tecniche, e vivere l’emozione di arrivare alla meta. L’avventura si fonde con il paesaggio, trasformando ogni chilometro in un momento di scoperta e crescita personale. Questo evento offre l’opportunità di immergersi nella bellezza delle Alpi, percorrendo strade sterrate e strade a fondo naturale che regalano panorami mozzafiato e un contatto autentico con la natura.

Notte Alpina. Ecosistemi, percezione e orientamento nel buio

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:17:05 GMT

L’attività, condotta dalla guida ambientale escursionistica Marion Vaglio Tessitore, propone di vivere la notte non soltanto come momento di osservazione del cielo ma come ambiente da attraversare e percepire attraverso l’ascolto, l’orientamento e la progressiva riduzione della luce artificiale.

Durante il cammino i partecipanti verranno accompagnati in attività di adattamento alla visione notturna, sperimentando il cambiamento della percezione visiva e spaziale nel passaggio dalla luce al buio. Particolare attenzione verrà dedicata all’ascolto attivo del paesaggio e alla costruzione di una semplice “mappa sonora” dell’ambiente notturno, identificando suoni, distanze e direzioni percepite nel buio.

Nel corso delle soste verranno affrontati temi legati all’inquinamento luminoso, alla fragilità degli ecosistemi alpini e notturni e alle modalità di orientamento della fauna. La sosta principale sarà dedicata all’osservazione del cielo e al riconoscimento delle principali costellazioni, con approfondimenti divulgativi sul rapporto dell’uomo con la montagna e la notte, accompagnati da una semplice bevanda calda condivisa.

Il ritorno lungo il medesimo itinerario permette ai partecipanti di confrontare la percezione del paesaggio prima e dopo l’adattamento al buio.

Il percorso si sviluppa interamente su strada sterrata di facile percorrenza per circa 5 km a/r e circa 150 m di dislivello: si raccomandano scarpe da trekking, indumenti adeguati e torcia frontale, possibilmente con luce rossa.

Notte Alpina a Sauze di Cesana

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:15:04 GMT

An evening and night-time excursion in the Sauze di Cesana area, designed to explore the alpine landscape at night and observe the starry sky, with a particular focus on the relationship between ecosystems, sensory perception and the quality of darkness.

During the stops along the way, key topics are explored, such as the impact of light pollution, the fragility of Alpine ecosystems and the fascinating ways in which nocturnal wildlife navigates. The main stop is entirely devoted to observing the sky and identifying the main constellations, enriched by informative insights into the historical relationship between humans, the mountains and the night, all accompanied by a shared hot drink.

The return journey, following the same route, offers the chance to compare how the landscape appears before and after your eyes have adjusted to the dark.

The route follows an easy-to-walk dirt track for approximately 5 km there and back, with an elevation gain of around 150 m: we recommend walking boots, suitable clothing and a head torch, preferably with a red light.

E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:27:14 GMT

Insieme alla guida ambientale escursionistica Fabrizio Burzio cercheremo di capire cos’è l’inquinamento luminoso e quali le sue problematiche.

Inizieremo l'osservazione del cielo imparando a riconoscere alcune costellazioni, fondamentali per l’orientamento notturno, e ascoltando miti e leggende legate a loro. Inoltre si parlerà della fauna che abita quei luoghi, con particolare riguardo ai rapaci notturni.

Si parte dalla frazione Balma e si arriva alla frazione Villaretto, con un dislivello di 125 m circa e una lunghezza di 2,6 km solo andata.

Ognuno potrà portare il proprio binocolo/cannocchiale; si raccomandano abbigliamento adeguato, scarponcini da trekking o scarponi, luce frontale preferibilmente rossa..

In caso di maltempo l’uscita sarà rinviata a sabato 19 settembre.
