In addition, some establishments on the way will offer a sip of sweet wine and typical Aranese cakes.

The organization is doing their best to recover the old and not so used mountain paths in order to offer beautiful and natural landscapes for the racers. Peak ascents, mountain passes, valleys, lakes and lot more can be expected without forgetting the spirit of the team, the main character of the adventure races.
