Swiss Alps 100

Description

Join the ultimate challenge nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps—a spectacle that balances thrill and endurance, designed to cater to every runner's aspiration and skill level!

100 KM:

Are you caught between seeking more than 50KM but not quite ready for the grand 160KM? The 100KM trail is your perfect fit, but be prepared—the course is a true test of stamina, boasting a breathtaking total elevation gain of 6,250 meters (20,500 feet). As you conquer the path, immerse yourself in awe-inspiring vistas, including the UNESCO World Heritage Aletsch Glacier and the exhilarating crossings of the 160-meter Aspi-Titter Suspension Bridge and the 280-meter Mühlebach-Fürgangen Suspension Bridge.

50 KM:

Though the second shortest in the Swiss Alps 100 lineup, the 50K course packs a punch with a total elevation gain of 3,210 meters (10,530 feet). Brace yourself for the challenge and be rewarded with stunning panoramas, running alongside the UNESCO Aletsch Glacier and traversing the impressive 160-meter Aspi-Titter Suspension Bridge and the 280-meter Mühlebach-Fürgangen Suspension Bridge.

Finishers of both races earn a striking 7cm medal, with age group prizes and fully stocked aid stations along the way. The cutoff times are 15 hours for the 100KM and 27 hours for the 50KM, ensuring an exhilarating but achievable challenge.

Free Kids Run:
