With the aim of offering "not only a beautiful and challenging race, but a day in which sports, mountains and friendship walk hand in hand through that inseparable bond that is between man and nature". On the same day, for those who do not like to run and for the companions, a non-competitive walk is also organized that stops at Alpe Seccio.
The course of the vertical (which is a pure uphill race, with the finish line at the highest point of the route) has a length of 5 kilometers to be tackled in a single large ascent of about 1000 m of positive elevation gain. From the village of Boccioleto, the path leads to Alpe Seccio, where the route steepens and leads to the ridge, the finish line of the race with a panoramic view of the Monte Rosa massif.
