SWISS CANYON TRAIL 111K - Swiss Canyon Trail

Swiss Canyon
Ultra Trail 111K

114.8 kilometers for a demanding and technical course. The change in altitude is merciless, the visual rewards endless. This 5,294m ascent race is not about climbing on one side and descending on another. Nor is it a peak that defines the view, a point to be conquered. Highlights are common and often very personal.
