The Ticino Wildlands 500 is a route of approximately 500 kilometres with 40,000 metres of elevation gain, to be covered on foot along the alpine and pre-alpine trails bordering the Canton of Ticino. It is a self-supported challenge between checkpoints, with no direct external assistance, requiring strong self-management skills, endurance, and adaptability.

The goal is to experience adventure, exploration, self-discovery, and respect for the mountain environment. Each participant takes on the challenge under their own responsibility, fully aware of the risks inherent in the natural surroundings. The Ticino Wildlands 500 is a private sporting raid, not a competitive race.
