Do not miss the news, however, regarding the start and the climb to Plateau Rosa: "Wanting valorizzareil heart of Breuil-Cervinia and also having the experience of the departure of Gressoney-La-Trinité of 2015, the teams of the XXI edition will start on foot , skiing in the backpack, at the beginning of Cervinia's pedestrian street. We are sure it will be a starting exciting and will appeal to all competitors - said Adriano Favre, mountain guide and technical director of Mezzalama, who added: -L'altra new, closely related to this type of starting, concerns the ascent to Plateau Rosa. Responding to the criticism of the latter editions describing the climb along the track Ventina too "pistaioli" and not from "mezzalamisti", we thought to track moving us towards the Colle del Theodulo. In practice, the teams will go up following the traces of the last downhill of the last edition. A relatively easy climb in the first part, but it will become very technical during the ascent on foot of the Theodulo channel. With this change we also want to go in a historic place of the Mezzalama Trophy, in fact in the historical first editions, the "Marathon of the Glaciers" started right from the Theodulo Colle ".
