21. Gornergrat Zermatt Marathon

The Gornergrat Zermatt Marathon is one of the finest running events in the Alps. Start in St. Niklaus (1,116 m), finish in Zermatt on Riffelberg (2,582 m) – with the option of racing all the way to the top of the Gornergrat (3,089 m). The course covers 42.195 km and conquers 1’469 metres altitude. One compensation for the gruelling run is the breathtaking panorama.

The marathon welcomes not only runners, but also spectators who can enjoy this event within an unforgettable setting. The „Terraces on the move“ will be an attractive and original event: an excursion train of the „Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn“ Company going from St. Niklaus to Zermatt in the same way as the Marathon.

The event will be rounded off in the marquee on the Obere Matten with the Pasta Party on Friday and the Grängjerbüebe on Saturday evening.
