Valchiavenna
Campodolcino is a Trail Running Destination in Valchiavenna, a reference point for mountain running enthusiasts thanks to a network of certified routes classified by difficulty and immersed in the alpine landscapes of Valle Spluga.
In the heart of Valle Spluga, Campodolcino offers an ideal environment for trail running, where alpine trails, varied elevation gains and natural surroundings provide excellent conditions for training and enjoying the mountains throughout the season. The route network has been designed to meet the needs of runners with different levels of experience, offering certified, signposted itineraries divided according to difficulty.
The routes are organised into four categories. Easy routes follow mixed terrain, with elevation gains of up to 300 metres and distances between 5 and 12 kilometres, making them suitable for beginners and active families. Intermediate routes mainly follow natural trails, with elevation gains between 300 and 700 metres and distances from 10 to 20 kilometres, designed for regular runners. Difficult routes feature more technical terrain, with elevation gains between 700 and 1,500 metres and distances ranging from 20 to 35 kilometres, aimed at experienced athletes. Finally, the extreme category includes high-altitude routes with more than 1,500 metres of elevation gain and distances exceeding 35 kilometres, dedicated to competitive runners and ultrarunners.
One of the defining features of Campodolcino Trail Running Destination is the variety of landscapes crossed by the routes. They allow runners to train on different types of terrain and elevation profiles, offering a complete experience from both a technical and scenic perspective.
The project was developed with the contribution of Francesco Puppi, one of the leading figures in international trail running, who helped design the routes by sharing his experience gained at the highest level of the discipline. It was on the trails of Campodolcino that Francesco Puppi prepared for some of his most important sporting achievements over the past year, confirming the technical quality of the area as an ideal destination for mountain running and training.
The village also represents a strategic training base thanks to its easily accessible location from the main cities of Northern Italy. Campodolcino is just a few hours from Lecco, Como and Milan, as well as Bergamo Airport, Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate, making it easy to organise training camps, sporting weekends and preparation periods.
The facilities available throughout Valchiavenna further enhance the destination for runners. In Chiavenna there is an athletics track, ideal for speed work and technical training, while the lower part of Valchiavenna offers a flat, paved cycle path that provides an excellent setting for running sessions, recovery runs and warm-ups.
Campodolcino Trail Running Destination therefore offers a structured and diverse network of routes that enhances the territory through a dedicated mountain running experience, welcoming runners of every level, from beginners to ultrarunners.
