ISMF World Cup in the Val d’Aran

The last test of the World Cup of ski mountaineering will take place in Baqueira Beret the next days 8 and 9 April

ISMF World Cup en la Val d’Aran

About 600 skiers, including some of the best national and international athletes of this modality, will participate in the ISMF World Cup Val d’Aran. The event, which will take place in Baqueira Beret on 8 and 9 April, will decide the world champion.

The ISMF will have an individual test on Saturday and a vertical on Sunday. The tour of the individual will be very technical with some of the downsides by the terrain of the station. The Era Pujada of Sunday will maintain its vertical mode in a very demanding race, with departure from the Pla de Beret and goal at the top of the Pic deth Dossau.

Organized by the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya (CEC) and the CE de Aran, ISMF has the support of the Federació d’Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya (FEEC) and FEDME, in addition to the collaboration of the Consèlh Generau d’Aran, council of Naut Aran, council of Vielha and the council of Bagergue.

In recent years the practice of mountain skiing has experienced great growth. The Val d’Aran is betting on this probable future olympic sport. In addition, the organization of the ISMF World Cup 2017 is a further step in consolidating the Val d’Aran as a high-level international sporting destination, as well as consolidating it as a reference venue for mountain skiing events.
