That's the beginning of your personal trailrunning story

"A narrow path. It's winding up and down through the alpine landscape. There is nobody else around you, you are just by yourself.

Tighten your runners, put the i-pod on play, put on your sunglasses and get started. You start your run into the trailrunning-paradise Saalbach Hinterglemm."
