Endurance load on ITRA's km-effort scale — not steepness or technical terrain.
How we measure
km-effort = distance + climb/100, ITRA's published scale: every 100 m of climb counts like ~1 km of distance. Six levels, Easy → Brutal, from the hardest distance of the event. The climb figure (m/km) shows how vertical the course is.Drive

Our take
The catch · Our read
4,400–6,100 m of cumulative climb over three days, high altitude, mid-October cold and short days; Full Experience already sold out so lodging logistics fall on you; the biggest barrier is committing three days + travel
Who it's for · Our read
experienced mountain ultrarunners who want a stage-race adventure and can self-organize (Basic tier). NOT for beginners, single-day racers, or anyone without solid vertical endurance
Also nice · Our read
sold-out cult event, international field, nightly awards-and-film ritual; a running holiday, not just a race
In a word · Our read
like a mini Pyrenees version of a Costa Brava/Andorra stage race — "harder than any single 100K because it's three back-to-back mountain days."
