Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 268-kilometer Alpine cycle marathon demands exceptional endurance and continuous climbing over multiple mountain passes starting from Andermatt.
Ultra Endurance
Covering 268 kilometers requires prolonged time in the saddle, testing the athlete's aerobic capacity and muscular endurance over many hours.
Climbing Capacity
The route traverses the most beautiful Swiss Alpine passes, demanding sustained climbing ability and effective pacing on steep gradients.
September Conditions
An early September date in the Swiss Alps requires athletes to prepare for variable mountain weather, potentially including cold temperatures at high altitudes.
Given the extreme distance and likely duration well exceeding 2.5 hours, athletes should aim for a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
