Racing Beneath the Matterhorn
Since 2013, Ultraks has built a genuinely accessible mountain-trail weekend around one of the world's most recognisable peaks — every distance starts and finishes in Zermatt village, with the Matterhorn visible throughout.
Real Range, Real Access
From the 900m kids' Wolli race to the VERTINIGHT and a 32km team relay crossing the suspension bridge over the Gornerschlucht gorge, the format is explicitly built so spectators can follow friends and family along the course via Zermatt's mountain railway network.
Daily Chore Take
A smart entry point into serious Alpine trail running — genuinely shorter, more accessible distances sit right alongside the harder options, all under the same iconic backdrop.
