Running breathlessly along ledges, through forests and scree slopes, filling your lungs with the biting air of a freezing morning, finding yourself in the dead of night chasing the distant light of a mountain refuge.


These are the snapshots captured through the eyes of Dario Pedrotti, an accidental trail runner who experiences the mountains at 140 beats per minute, covering distances of hundreds of kilometers and elevation gains that would make even the most seasoned mountaineers pale.


He takes us step by step through the most famous trail running races, from the Tor des Géants to LUT, all the way to the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. On the Trail of Giants is the memoir of a man captivated by the magic of the peaks—an epic yet intimate tale of defeats and sweat, perseverance and wonder.
