We're making a Swiss Trail Running Guidebook this summer. Follow the process here!

Zermatt Matterhorn Tour and the Great Dessert Challenge

Guided by Simon Conroy

We ran trails up to 7600 feet, through talus and over the moraines of the Wildstrubel glacier on a crisp clear morning. We ran under the iconic Matterhorn past centuries old chalets above Zermatt - and then several of us raced in one of the Alps’ best known trail races, Matterhorn Ultraks.

High above Leukerbad, Lori crosses a stable ladder bridge on her way to the Wildstrubel Glacier.

Marquee Alp trail races are always a big production, and feature the latest innovations… alongside old classics!

Endorphines, anyone? That post-race rush feels good!

More of this, please. One of the desserts at the Europe Hotel
