The new route has been revealed for the 2019 Red Bull X-Alps, which will be the most challenging in the event\u2019s 16-year history. Racing a straight-line distance of 1,138km from Salzburg to Monaco, 32 world class athletes from 20 countries including 2 women and 30 men will hike and fly via record-breaking 13 Turnpoints in 6 different countries – including Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France and last but not least Monaco. This exciting new development will make the world’s toughest adventure race even more challenging and more unpredictable than ever before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As if that wasn\u2019t enough, the new Turnpoints in western Italy and the south of France will lead the participants to race along Europe\u2019s largest mountain range and traverse it five times between the northern and southern as well as western and eastern fringes. Also Race director Christoph Weber says it\u2019s going to be tough. \u201cThe race is earlier than the years before \u2013 that could mean a lot more snow in the high alpine, which could definitely slow the athletes down. If the weather isn\u2019t good for flying, it could be a very long and exhausting race to Monaco!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The historic Mozartplatz in Salzburg, Austria will mark the Start of the ninth edition of Red Bull X-Alps. From there, the athletes will run through the city and up the Gaisberg to Turnpoint 1. The scenic view will attract thousands of fans from far and wide, all of whom will be there to support the competitors as they set up their paragliders and embark on their first flight of the race.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
From Gaisberg the race is on to Turnpoint 2 in Wagrain – Kleinarl, a mountain holiday town in the south of Salzburg \u2013 the terrain will by then be well known from the Prologue race just days earlier. Then it\u2019s north to Turnpoint 3 at Aschau \u2013 Chiemsee to the northern edge of the Alps entering Germany. From there it\u2019s a big trip south to Turnpoint 4 the Kronplatz in Italy which includes crossing the almost 4,000-meter-high mountain ridge of the Alps to tag the summit and sign the Turnpoint Sign next to the famous Messner Mountain Museum.\u00a0<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type= »1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version= »3.19.5″ src= »https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2019\/03\/P1266127.jpg » show_in_lightbox= »on » \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type= »1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version= »3.19.5″ src= »https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2019\/03\/P1266148.jpg » show_in_lightbox= »on » \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type= »1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version= »3.19.5″ src= »https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2019\/03\/P1266136.jpg » show_in_lightbox= »on » \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type= »4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version= »3.19.5″]<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s back north to Zugspitze, Germany\u2019s highest summit, which has to be passed north \u2013 and from there the 32 adventurers will drop right back over the Austrian border to Turnpoint 5, Lermoos \u2013 Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Then they\u2019ll start really moving west. Davos, Switzerland is Turnpoint 6 and is next on the list \u2013 right beside the beautiful Davosersee. After that it\u2019s on to Turnpoint 7, Titlis \u2013 above Engelberg, where they\u2019ll sign the highest Turnpoint Sign of the race on a glacier at 3.200m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After that, the adventurers have got to pass Turnpoint 8 the Eiger, one of the most iconic mountains in the climbing world and Turnpoint 9 Mont Blanc which is the highest peak of the Alps before the next signboard at Turnpoint 10 in St Hilaire, France, one of the spiritual homes of free flight sport. Then it\u2019s on to the last big leg. Past Turnpoint 11 at Monte Viso, the last big rock pyramid in Italy, as well as Turnpoint 12 Cheval Blanc, pointing their compass finally towards Peille.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In a final push, the hungry competitors will battle it out over the remaining 91km to reach Turnpoint 13 in Peille where the clock will finally stop. From there the athletes only have to make the 2km victory flight over Monaco to the warm, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. They will touch down in style on a landing float to celebrate the accomplishment and relief of completing the world\u2019s toughest adventure race.<\/div>\n

For sure the distance and the number of Turnpoints indicates that it\u2019s going to be the toughest route\u00a0in the race\u2019s 16-year history. From now, the athletes have just three months to prepare both body and mind for the enormous journey that lies ahead. Studying the geography of the route will go a long way, but to emerge victorious will take a whole new caliber of endurance and determination. There\u2019s no telling who will take the title, but with some of the greatest athletes in the world, it will certainly be an adventure to remember. \u00a0<\/p>\n
