The 6.4 miles vertical climb has a total elevation gain of 6,000 feet. If you like climbing then this is the race for you. Starting in Fiesch, there's only one way to go and that's up. At the finish line on the Egghorn, you'll be rewarded with 280-degree views of the Swiss Alps, including the Matterhorn and the Aletsch Glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Collect your hard-earned medal, sit down at the Horli Hitta for a refreshment and soak up the views for as long as you like. When you're ready, take the free gondola back down to the valley. It's only a 1km walk from the gondola to the race headquarters and we'll show you the way.
Check the race weekend schedule page for check-in and race start times. The total race time is 4 hours.
