Everesting challenge on the traffic-closed Tremola road from Airolo to the Gotthard Pass, with solo formats from an eighth to a full Everesting (8,848 m) and team options.

What this race demands

This 260 km ride combines 8,848 m of climbing with a very long time in the saddle. It demands sustained climbing, careful pacing and the ability to keep fueling over many hours.

Climbing volume

The 8,848 m of elevation gain makes repeated, sustained uphill work the defining physical demand. Riders need to manage effort so they can continue climbing late in the ride.

Long-distance durability

At 260 km, the ride requires hours of continuous work. Muscular and aerobic endurance matter well beyond the early part of the event.

Pacing and fueling

The combination of distance and elevation is likely to keep riders moving for many hours. A controlled pace and steady carbohydrate intake help support that duration.

For a ride likely to last well over 2.5 hours, aim for roughly 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour, practiced in training.
