The only two-day double marathon in Switzerland! The Gondo Marathon takes place in a magnificent mountain pass landscape and mostly on single trails.
2x 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 steep 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, a two-day race covering a total of 84.4 kilometers and 4,200 meters of elevation gain is held every summer.
