The 4 Passi in Val Saisera is a non-competitive running and hiking event held in the Val Saisera, a steep alpine valley in the Julian Alps.
Situated near the ski resort of Tarvisio in the north-eastern corner of Italy, not far from the borders with Austria and Slovenia, the Val Saisera was at the frontline between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops during World War One.
It is now a tranquil unspoiled place and a beautiful destination for hiking in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter.
Two scenic routes are available, 7km and 13km long, starting at an elevation of about 1,000 metres at the Polveriera at the end of the valley, approximately four and a half kilometres south of the village of Valbruna.
Both routes are very undulating multi-terrain loop courses through the valley.
Participants can still decide on the course which distance they want to run (or walk). The registration fees are the same for both routes.
Be aware that this event is not a race. It's a marcia non competitiva, a fun run and walk without timekeeping or results lists.
Instead of racing hard through the valley, most participants take their time to enjoy the beautiful course and the many awe-inspiring vistas.
When we tested the 4 Passi in Val Saisera in 2017, the event had 940 participants.
