The Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120K is a 120km ultra-trail with around 5,800m of elevation gain through the Dolomites, starting and finishing in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The overall cutoff is 30 hours, and the highest point is the Forcella Lavaredo at 2,454m beneath the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The race starts at 11pm in Cortina, so the famous Tre Cime sector is reached around dawn. Crew points are Sesto/Sexten, Dobbiaco/Toblach, and Cortina at half distance; drop bags go to Sesto, Cimabanche, and Cortina. Late June heat in the valley sections between Sesto and Cortina is a regular factor.

Course math
Four numbers worked out from this course's distance, elevation and checkpoints.
TrailMath effort-km
207 effort-km
About 25 h for a mid-pack finisher (index 500). Not a pacing guarantee.
Distance + gain ÷ 100 + loss ÷ 200, beside ITRA's gain-only km-effort. Model TM1.0.
How TrailMath works →UTMB Index category
100M
178 km-effort (distance + gain ÷ 100). Calculated from the course figures, not an official classification.
Estimate your UTMB Index →Biggest climb section
+900 m
Rifugio Auronzo → Passo Monte Croce · km 13–28
The largest gain between two checkpoints, not one continuous climb.
Biggest descent section

Passo Giau → Cortina (Finish) · km 103–120
The largest loss between two checkpoints. ITRA's km-effort ignores descent; TrailMath counts it: 207 km-effort.
