On April 26 and 27, thousands of athletes from Portugal and abroad will take to the trails through the natural landscapes of Trás-os-Montes and tackle the challenges of the Alvão Natural Park—this is the unique event known as the Trail Fisgas de Ermelo.

The setting of the Fisgas de Ermelo Trail

Located in the municipality of Mondim de Bastos, the Alvão Natural Park has served as the setting for all eight editions of this event: a region of mountainous landscapes highlighted by the famous Fisgas de Ermelo waterfalls, among the largest in Europe.

The 8th edition – the competitions and Fisgas Kids

As in previous editions of the Trail Fisgas de Ermelo, in 2025 there will also be races of various distances to suit the different levels of fitness and experience of the participants. The event will feature a 10 km walk open to all levels and two competitive races: the long trail, covering 33 km with 1,750 meters of elevation gain, and the short trail, covering 23 km with 1,200 meters of elevation gain. Both races count toward the UTMB Index, the ITRA, and the National Trail Circuits.
In addition to these races, the event features a program of activities for younger participants—the Fisgas Kids. This is a series of races for participants aged 6 to 15, which will take place on April 26.

Tributus and the Fisgas de Ermelo Trail

In 2025, the Mondim Athletics Association once again entrusted Tributus with the production of the trophies and medals (Kids and Walking) for the Fisgas de Ermelo Trail. But our company’s relationship with this major event on the sporting calendar doesn’t end there: we are one of the sponsors of Fisgas Kids and will be present with a booth.
