There is great anticipation for the next Horn Attacke, the event that defines the limits of alpine endurance and which will write a new chapter in its history on Saturday 7 March 2026,celebrating its seventh edition and confirming its status as the most spectacular and challenging duathlon in South Tyrol, combining running and ski mountaineering in a single adventure. In the world of sport, the number seven is synonymous with perfection, luck and completeness. And this edition promises to embody all these meanings to the fullest, offering a route that represents the quintessence of the alpine challenge: about 20 kilometres of effort and glory, with a vertical drop of 2,000 metres that tests every muscle and every breath of the participants. The race starts in Bolzano, climbs towards Santa Maddalena and Soprabolzano, the first key point of the competition, and continues towards Riggermoos, Tann and Pemmern, where the transition area is located. Here, the race gives way to ski mountaineering: skis on, skins ready and off towards the final ascent that passes by the Feltuner Hütte and leads up to the 2,260-metre summit, alongside the slopes of the Renon ski area. A continuous line that connects the city and the mountains in a single challenging trajectory. Whether solo, in a relay of two or three, male, female or mixed, the Horn Attacke welcomes everyone, even those looking for the ultimate challenge represented by the “Montanaro” version, in which competitors carry all the equipment they need to tackle the second part of the ski mountaineering race on their shoulders from the start.
