Tre Cime Experience 2026 — five races between Misurina and the Tre Cime

On 12 and 13 September 2026 Lake Misurina and the Cadini become a race course again. Tre Cime Experience is the skyrunning and trail running weekend organised by Cadini Promotion, the Auronzo di Cadore club, with the support of Lowa: five races over two days, from a one-and-a-half kilometre climb to a forty-two kilometre marathon.

Saturday 12 September: Diavolo Vertical Sprint

The weekend opens with a short, intense effort: 1.5 kilometres and 400 metres of elevation gain, along the line of the former Torre del Diavolo ski lift, up to the foot of the Cadini di Misurina. It is a straight-line race, where what counts is climbing without ever really recovering.

Sunday 13 September: four starts

• Misurina Sky Marathon — 42 km and 2,600 metres of positive elevation gain, starting at 8:00. Start and finish on the lake shore, passing below the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, over the Cadini saddles and across the Paterno group. The stretch through Val Popena, one of the least travelled corners of the Auronzo area, is confirmed again.
• Cadini Sky Race — 23 km and 1,600 metres of elevation gain, starting at 9:00. Already sold out: 25 places were added to the original 200 and all have been taken.
• Misurina Lake Run — 10 km and 450 metres of elevation gain, the most accessible race on the programme.
• Cadini Kids Race — the race for younger runners.

Why it matters for the Cadore

Misurina and the Tre Cime are among the most photographed places in the Dolomites, and for much of the year they are crossed by fast, passing tourism. A weekend of racing at altitude puts them to a different use: trails, saddles and side valleys covered on foot, including Val Popena, which most visitors never see.
