2 x 42 km and 4200 meters of elevation gain in a magnificent mountain pass landscape, mostly on single trails.
Our trademark: the family atmosphere.
The second 42 kilometers and 2200 meters of ascent and descent each lead from Ried-Brig along the legendary Stockalperweg and the Talweg Ganter to the Simplon Pass, down to Gabi, and after the second strenuous climb to Furggu through the Zwischberg Valley back to Gondo. In memory of October 14, 2000, when a massive landslide buried the village of Gondo and 13 people lost their lives, every summer a two-day race takes place over a total of 84.4 kilometers and 4,200 meters of elevation gain.
