The Swiss Alps 100 160KM is an ultra-trail masterpiece, pushing runners to their limits while rewarding them with some of the most breathtaking views on Earth. This relentless course takes you deep into the heart of the Swiss Alps, traversing rugged mountain passes, crossing three jaw-dropping suspension bridges—Belalp-Riederalp , Aspi-Titter , and Mühlebach-Fürgangen —and offering panoramic views of the UNESCO World Heritage Aletsch Glacier , the largest glacier in the Alps.

Runners will face a staggering 10'150 meters of elevation gain, mirroring the challenge of climbing Mount Everest from sea level! But for those who embrace the climb, the reward is pure magic—pristine alpine lakes, towering peaks, and trails that test both grit and spirit.


This is more than a race. It's a journey of endurance, adventure, and triumph in the most spectacular mountain landscape imaginable. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Swiss Alps 100?

Pacer: 160km runners are allowed to have a pacer starting at the Reckingen aid station all the way to the finish line. They can drop/change pacers at the Blitzingen, Chäserstatt, Binn, Rosswald, and Mühlebach aid stations. Only one pacer can run along the runner at any given time. Pacers do not need a pacer bib and they are allowed to drink/eat at all the aid stations.

Drop Bags: Runners have to have one drop bag for each location they want to have one. We do not transport drop bags from one aid station to another.

Cutoff Times: Runners must have left the aid station at the cutoff times. If the cutoff time is, for example, Sat 16:00 runners who are still there at Sat 16:01 are not allowed to move on.
