Billed as Switzerland's toughest one-day race. A point-to-point Alpine crossing that starts in the federal capital of Bern and finishes at the car-free village of Zermatt, at the foot of the Matterhorn.
The route
275km and around 5,500m of climbing, point to point from Bern to Zermatt. The Col du Pillon drops you into the Valais, then a long valley drag up the Mattertal delivers you, empty-legged, to the car-free finish.
Mid-September, Bern → Zermatt
Highs around 20°C and lows around 11°C, but it has dropped to 2°C. Rain on 43% of days.
