What Makes It Great

The SwissPeaks Half-Marathon is a 21km trail run starting and finishing at Le Bouveret on the shores of Lake Geneva, climbing 990 meters through the forested hills above the village before returning to the festival finish at Quai Bussien. Accessible and inspiring, it offers runners of all experience levels a genuine taste of Swiss alpine trail running — well-marked trails, beautiful lake views, and the full SwissPeaks festival atmosphere at the finish. A 1-point ITRA race that opens the door to the longer distances.
