The Salzburger Sparkasse Fanningberg Trail is the most challenging route, covering 44 kilometers and 2,315 meters of elevation gain, and starts in Mauterndorf. The trail leads through the historic center, past Mauterndorf Castle, and on through the districts of Stampfl and St. Gertrauden up to Fanningberg. After an initial climb and a forest trail, the route continues to the Weißpriachtal valley and along a challenging trail with roots and switchbacks to the Hubertuskapelle chapel and the first refreshment station in Mariapfarr.

The trail continues through forests, meadows, and high-altitude trails with fantastic views of the Taurach Valley before leading to St. Andrä. From there, it continues over the Wiesberg, to Vordereck, and up to the Wildbachhütte, where you can take a break. After a descent via the village of Lessach, the route continues to Prebersee and finally to the Panorama Trail, which is the highlight of the trail.

This last section offers alternating single trails and forest paths, with magnificent panoramic views and a final downhill section to Ludlalm, the finish of the trail.

Since 2026, this competition can also be completed as a relay race, requiring at least two people, ideally three. The sections vary in distance and elevation gain and can be divided up according to the strength of the relay team members. A shuttle service will be provided for relay team members; the respective travel times will be listed in the shuttle schedule in good time. A handover between sections is mandatory and must be clearly marked.
