Domobianca Vertical Race has its sights set on the 4th edition on the classic route starting from Alpe Lusentino and arriving at Croce del Moncucco – the mountain of Domodossola – at 1896 meters above sea level, all within the wonderful Domobianca365 area.
Many international champions have already registered for the event and many enthusiasts are ready to try their hand at the race which will start at 5.30pm from Alpe Lusentino at 1080 m; from the Domobianca365 car park, you will reach the top of Moncucco, a panoramic point where the horizon extends over the surrounding mountains, the Swiss Alps and down to the plain. The route is 3500 meters long with a height difference of 770 metres.
In the initial stretch you follow the ski slope and then enter the woods, under the chairlift, up to Alpe Foppiano. From here the slopes increase to arrive at the infamous “Torcelli Wall”, 150 almost vertical meters with a meadow surface, the most famous ski slope in Ossola. Continue up the slopes to the Alpe Casalavera lake – a refreshment point – and take the long ridge that leads to the finish line at the summit.
The route is 3500 meters long with a height difference of 770 metres. The chairlifts will be open to the public at a discounted cost to go up and cheer along the route. At the end of the race, awards ceremony and from 8.00 pm, party with music and food at the LuseBar. The times to beat are those of Roberto Delorenzi (28′ 38″) and Maude Mathys (32′ 18″).
