Lorenzo Beltrami
TRAIL RUNNING
A native of the province of Lecco in the Pre-Alps, Lorenzo works in the field of rehabilitation and sports training. During his childhood, he never practised competitive sports but always lived in the heart of nature and the mountains.
Practising cycling, swimming, climbing or even ski touring, his passion for mountain running appeared a few years ago. What has always driven him to run on the trails? It's that feeling of freedom it gives him and his love for the mountains and nature.
In 2017, Lorenzo competed in his first competition. He says he lives on the mountain at 360°, always with that same devotion. As for his favourite competitions, they are the Skyraces because he loves technical descents!

Why do you feel you belong to the Cimalp family?

The best memories are those I share with my rope mates, especially during summer training in Trentino, along the Alta Via Aurina valley. Beautiful moments of sharing and lightness. I have no negative memories, the mountain always teaches, but its lessons have always been sweet and positive.

A sense of freedom and peace!
What is your relationship to the environment and ecology?
I care about it a lot! I try to live the most responsible life possible.
