Description

The Matterhorn Ultraks Trail races have taken place annually in August since 2012. The courses are chosen so that spectators also get their money's worth and can cheer on the runners.

The Vertical route goes from Zermatt to Sunnegga. Those who reach the top deserve a loud bravo!

  • for spectators: exciting observation point at Sunnegga
  • for spectators: the mountain railways lead to the finish on the summit
  • Opportunity to participate as a volunteer
