About the event
A journey through the northern Alps of Switzerland
Wildstrubel by UTMB® allows runners to discover new regions, landscapes and culture.
Connecting the Swiss cantons of Valais and Bern, Wildstrubel by UTMB® will take runners on a magnificent journey through the northern Alps of Switzerland. Perfectly manicured mountain pastures, breathtaking views of the Valais’ 4,000m peaks, the striking landscapes of the Bernese Oberland mountain range, and the high mountains of the Wildstrubel massif await.
5 different races on offer
The flagship race offers a 113 km course with 6,600 m of elevation gain, based on an original idea by Jean-Yves Rey, winner of the 2009 CCC. The route makes a complete loop around the Wildstrubel massif and the Plaine Morte Glacier, crossing 2 cantons, 2 linguistic regions, and 5 internationally renowned destinations: Crans-Montana, Leukerbad, Kandersteg, Adelboden, and Lenk. Runners will pass from one canton to another via the legendary Gemmi Pass (2,268 m) and Rawyl Pass (2,427 m), reach the Wildstrubel hut, the highest point of the course, and follow the famous Via Alpina between Kandersteg and Lenk.
