The spirit of improvement will be experienced in the Salomon Ultra Pirineu 100k®, the demand in the Salomon Marató Pirineu 42K®, the speed in the Salomon Mitja Pirineu 21K® and the verticality in LaMolina Nit Pirineu VK. In addition, the Pirineu XS, the children's version of the Salomon Ultra Pirineu, will also take place.
To guarantee optimal development of the race and minimize its impact on the natural environment, the organization has limited the number of bibs: 1,200 for the Ultra and the Marathon, 900 for the Mitja and 200 for the Nit Pirineu.
The resort adapts to host the events
As part of the Salomon Ultra Pirineu 2025, La Molina has adapted its services to host the events. As a result of the remodeling works at the Niu de l’Àliga refuge, the route has been adjusted so that the Nit Pirineu reaches the intermediate station of the Telecabina. In addition, the Ultra will also pass there and will have refreshments at this same point. The ticket office will open from 3:30 to 6:45 p.m. on Friday, October 3 and from 5:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 4. For its part, the opening hours of the Telecabina, which this year will only reach the intermediate station, will be from 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday and from 5:45 to 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. During the weekend, the Telecabina, in addition to the special hours, will also operate during the usual hours from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
