Swiss Canyon Trail Couvers, Switzerland   Jun 6–8, 2025

The Swiss Canyon Trail is a race like no other. This is not some empty slogan or vacuous remark. It’s a genuine statement. While some races are defined by the ascent of a peak, a specific view or technical challenge, the Swiss Canyon Trail is characterized by its energizing spirit.

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS:
It’s hard to quantify, but it exists. This is the land of the Green Fairy, of dreams, of myth and legend, of spruce-topped mountains, of waterfalls and gorges, of luscious green forests and charming streams. Its like running through a scene from the Lord of Rings. Remote, rugged, with mystery always present. The 2018 race through its K105 course offers a wider range of natural wonder from cascades to cliffs to canyons and ever more challenging terrain.

Swiss Canyon Ultra Trail 111K
The new arrival. 112.3 kilometres of exacting and technical trail running. The elevation change is relentless, the visual rewards endless. Some 5550m of vertical ascension.
