The Swiss Alps 100 Vertical is an epic challenge that pushes your limits with 1'830 meters of relentless elevation gain. From the valley floor in Fiesch, you'll ascend steep trails, rugged switchbacks, and alpine paths, climbing high above the clouds toward one of the most breathtaking finish lines in the world—Eggishorn (2,926m)!

At the summit, your effort is rewarded with a 360-degree panoramic view of the Swiss Alps, featuring the legendary Matterhorn, Jungfrau, Eiger, as well as an unparalleled perspective of the UNESCO World Heritage Aletsch Glacier —the longest glacier in the Alps. This is more than just a race; it's a journey into the heart of the mountains.

Runners have 4 hours to complete this vertical beast, with one fully stocked aid station to keep you fueled along the way. At the summit, celebrate your achievement with a stunning finisher's medal, soak in the views, and enjoy the high-alpine atmosphere for as long as you want. When you're ready, simply show your race bib and take the gondola back down to Fiesch for free—an effortless descent after an unforgettable climb.
