Other trail races within 64 miles
The SwissPeaks Legend is a 397km crossing of the Swiss Valais Alps from Brig to Le Bouveret on Lake Geneva, traversing high mountain passes, remote valleys, and pristine wilderness over up to 6.5 days. With 27,530 meters of climbing and 32 aid stations including six life bases with hot meals, beds, and showers, it is the ultimate expression of the SwissPeaks spirit — demanding yet deeply human, with logistical support allowing runners to focus on the mountains ahead. Runners can also enter as a Duo pair, with both runners required to finish for the Duo classification.
