Association Trail Valais

Born in 2022 in Crans-Montana, Wildstrubel by UTMB® is much more than just a sporting event. It is driven by Trail Valais, a non-profit association from Valais, powered by a team of passionate trail runners deeply rooted in their region.

Their mission? To promote trail running in Valais by showcasing the natural, cultural, and human richness of this unique Alpine region.

Our association, Trail Valais, chose to join the UTMB World Series circuit to:

Provide local runners in Valais with the opportunity to earn Running Stones close to home

Promote Wildstrubel and its breathtaking landscapes to the international trail running community brought together by the UTMB World Series circuit

In the heart of the Swiss Alps, between the cantons of Valais and Bern, the Wildstrubel massif offers a spectacular playground: breathtaking panoramas, dramatic ridgelines, untouched valleys, and technical trails that wind through authentic and welcoming mountain villages. It is in this majestic setting, ranging from 1,000 to over 3,000 meters in altitude, that runners from around the world gather each year, crossing the finish line in Crans-Montana.

Wildstrubel by UTMB® is a locally rooted event, built by the people of the region, involving local municipalities, volunteers, and regional stakeholders.
