Swiss Canyon
Ultra Trail
100 miles

For its 30th anniversary, the Swiss Canyon Trail is making history with its brand new 100 miles. Over 166 kilometers, this exceptional route will undoubtedly offer a unique adventure to fans of great challenges.

With a total elevation gain of 8,147 meters, the route commands respect and wonder. Each kilometer reserves its share of surprises, between steep climbs, technical descents and panoramic ridges. In the heart of the Val de Travers and the northern Vaud region, runners will discover sites of rare beauty: the majestic Aiguilles de Baulmes, the captivating panoramas from the Chasseron, the picturesque atmosphere of St-Croix and of course the mythical Creux du Van.

More than a competition, this 100 miles is an invitation to explore the harmony between extreme effort and the splendor of the Swiss landscapes.

Here, each runner will write their own chapter, whether admiring a sunrise at the summit or finding unsuspected strength in the most demanding kilometers.
