Pizzo Stella Skyrunning

Skyrunning at the foot of Pizzo Stella

Pizzo Stella Skyrunning is one of the most spectacular skyrunning races in Valchiavenna, in the province of Sondrio. It takes its name from Pizzo Stella, one of the most imposing peaks in the area, at the foot of which technical and spectacular routes unfold, between ridges, high-altitude trails, and breathtaking views. The event base is Madesimo, a renowned alpine resort in Lombardy.

Two distances for every athlete

The competition offers two routes: the Skymarathon of 42 km with 3,600 meters of positive elevation gain, reserved for the most trained athletes, and the Skyrace of 27 km with 2,430 meters of elevation gain, shorter but still challenging. Both courses cross four municipalities in Valchiavenna — Madesimo, Campodolcino, San Giacomo Filippo, and Piuro — offering a journey through the wildest landscapes of the valley.

The Italian FISky Title

The 2026 edition has a special significance: it awards the Italian SkyMarathon FISky title, from the Italian Skyrunning Federation. This makes the race a top event on the national calendar, capable of attracting the best specialists in the discipline and offering a prestigious prize.

Sport and Territory

Organized by Madesimo Trail, Pizzo Stella Skyrunning is more than just a race: it's an opportunity to promote the Valchiavenna region through sport, bringing athletes and enthusiasts to discover the mountains, trails, and communities of this corner of the province of Sondrio. An event that combines competitive challenge with respect and love for the alpine environment.
