Kalkkögeltrail

On September 26, 2026, the third edition of the Kalkkögeltrail took place in Telfes. The Kalkkögeltrail attracted ambitious runners to the impressive mountain world of the Kalkkögel. With varied courses, spectacular panoramic views and a demanding sporting challenge, the event was a true highlight for everyone who wanted to perfectly combine nature and endurance. Whether professional or recreational runner – the Kalkkögeltrail was about more than just speed; it was about the shared experience in one of Tyrol’s most beautiful regions. The “Dolomites of North Tyrol” formed the backdrop for the Kalkkögeltrail with a K42 marathon run, which that year also served as the Austrian National Championships in the trail marathon. In addition to the already established Kalkkögeltrail K18, the Kalkkögeltrail K30 was offered for the first time, for all those who wanted to slowly work their way up to the marathon distance. For rookies, early-morning runners or beginners, the Kalkkögeltrail K10 was the ideal introduction to the Kalkkögeltrail running experience.

Marathonrun Kalkkögeltrail K42 (42km)

A circuit around the Stubai Seven Summit peak - Hoher Burgstall, as well as the summit of the Saile with views as far as the Wilder Kaiser make this marathon trail unrivalled. After almost 3030 metres of ascent and descent, the adventure comes to an end with a start and finish area in the centre of Telfes.

Kalkkögeltrail K30 (30km)

The Kalkkögeltrail K30 offers fantastic views with the peaks of Saile, Nederjoch and Jochkreuz, and the Gloatsteig and Hirtensteig are also technically very attractive running sections. After almost 2000 meters in altitude, the end of the loop over the Telfer meadows is a run to be enjoyed.

Kalkkögeltrail K18 (18km)

The K18 up into the Schlick is a little more manageable. After circling the panoramic lake, the route turns below the Kalkkögel via the Gloatsteig trail to the highest point, the Bergler Bründl. A gentle ascent and descent takes you to the beautifully situated Pfarrachalm. After overcoming 900 meters of altitude difference, the technically demanding route leads back to Telfes via the Hirtensteig and Lüderitzsteig.

Kalkkögeltrail K10 (10km)

The Kalkkögeltrail K10 is ideal for rookies (born 2014 and later), morning runners or beginners, a wonderful run through woods and meadows with not too many meters of elevation gain. Try it out and join in - we want you to catch the trail running bug.
