Point-to-point through the Upper Engadin valley, crossing frozen lakes between Maloja and S-chanf. The course is fast and relatively flat, making it one of the fastest marathon courses in the world. Stunning views of the Bernina massif throughout.
Distance is only a proxy for duration. Choose the outline that matches your event, then adjust it to your tested pace, conditions, and organizer support.
Long-distance effort
Ski the first section conservatively, pace climbs by repeatable effort, and preserve technique for the final third.
Use an early, repeatable fueling rhythm based on your tested duration plan. Know what each feed station offers and carry a familiar fallback.
Middle-distance effort
Hold a controlled opening pace, keep technique efficient through the middle, and commit after the last major course feature.
Plan intake around your expected duration. Start with familiar fuel and map any organizer feed stations before race day.
