The course
After the start in Zurich the riders are heading towards hillier regions via the Freiamt and Sursee. From there the participants tackle the climbs of Glaubenberg and Brünig before the Grimselpass is set to be the biggest obstacle of the race. After passing through big parts of the canton of Wallis the climb from Täsch to Zermatt will present the last big challenge. With 280 kilometers and approximately 6'000 meters of elevation, Zurich – Zermatt is set to be the toughest one day race in Switzerland.
The Time Table
The race is set to start at 1:15 am in the morning with the first riders. The last riders are expected to arrive at 7:00 pm in Zermatt. Bus transport for the return journey can be booked via the shop (limited number of participants). This departs at 20:15 from Täsch via Bern back to Zurich.
The categories
Participants can ride in three categories: Single, Team or "happy threesome".
The Singles conquer the whole course by themselves with only limited help from outside. Assistance from third parties are only allowed at the checkpoints in Wolhusen and Ulrichen.
