The Swiss Alpine Marathon, Switzerland
The Swiss Alpine Davos is the oldest marathon in Grisons, the second-largest ultra-marathon in Switzerland, and has delighted mountain runners, trail runners, and pleasure runners from all over the world since 1986 with its unique high-alpine scenery.
The high-alpine mountain run is for trail runners and pleasure runners. The Swiss alpine Davos is not only the oldest marathon in Grisons but also the second-largest ultra-marathon in Switzerland. However, it is no longer just the races that are the main attraction. The point is to be part of the mountain-runner community that meets for the annual running event in the Alpine town of Davos. We call it «Swiss alpine Spirit».
Thanks to the tireless efforts of approximately 300 volunteers and the many spectators cheering on the participants along the route, the Swiss alpine Davos has become a household name in the trail-running scene far beyond the country’s borders.
