Aletsch Halbmarathon Weekend

Sunday is Half Marathon Day: The challenging 21.1 km course through the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The view of the Great Aletsch Glacier and the four-thousand-meter peaks of Valais. This makes the Aletsch Half Marathon the most beautiful mountain race in Europe, attracting up to 2,700 participants from Switzerland and abroad each year.

Saturday is Family Day. The Glacier Run, Aletsch Mini Run, and Aletsch Sprint offer something for solo runners, groups, and families alike. A program designed for children, teens, and recreational runners—in other words, for all future half-marathon conquerors.
