We welcome you to the Swiss Alps 100 trail race, where you will experience some of the finest trails and views of the famous Swiss Alps mountains. Our courses, which are part run on the UNESCO World Heritage, are incredibly scenic, yet strenuous and challenging. Many parts of the course, like the Aletsch glacier, the 3 suspension bridges, or the alpine dam, are truly magnificent and a feast for your eyes.

All of our four distances are majestic, challenging, and all within the Oberwallis region in the south side of Switzerland. The Vertical has 1’860m, the 50K has 3’310m, the 100K has 6’570m, and the 160K has 10’610m of elevation gain. We provide a fully stocked aid station every 7KM to 10KM at each distance. We have race-shirts, 160KM sub-24 antic silver and sub-48 antic brass buckles, Vertical, 50KM, and 100KM finisher medals, first place and age-group awards, and a runner’s post-race meal.
