A competition over the "Alta Via 2" and "Alta Via 1" with start and finish in Courmayeur. The target time is 150 hours (6 days and 6 hours). Those who sleep don't make progress. The fast ones have no time to sleep (winning time about 65 to 68 hours). The slow ones have no time to sleep because otherwise, they fall out of the target times. However, hardly anything works without sleep after 2 or 3 days.

Such an undertaking is only for the crazy. But: "Not crazy at all" is also not normal.

Author’s recommendation

Do it in stages. 3 weeks are recommended, but it would be more athletic in 2 weeks. It's also possible in 150 hours or faster.
