Stages

Planning of the stages has not yet been completed. As soon as planning has progressed further, we will present all stages here in detail.
Even after we have run the stages in spring, further adjustments may be necessary. We will send participants the GPX files for the individual stages approximately 10 days before the start of the stage race.

Eight daily running stages

Stage 1 Sat, 29 May 2027 from Basel to Leibstadt, 66.4 km with 470 m elevation gain

Stage 2 Sun, 30 May 2027 from Leibstadt to Flaach, 50.4 km with 370 m elevation gain

Stage 3 Mon, 31 May 2027 from Flaach to Wagenhausen, 46.9 km with 370 m elevation gain

Stage 4 Tue, 1 June 2027 from Wagenhausen to Arbon, 60.3 km with 370 m elevation gain

Stage 5 Wed, 2 June 2027 from Arbon to Ruggell, 64.3 km with 270 m elevation gain

Stage 6 Thu, 3 June 2027 from Ruggell to Bonaduz, 65.8 km with 540 m elevation gain

Stage 7 Fri, 4 June 2027 from Bonaduz to Riein (Ilanz), 46.1 km with 2,050 m elevation gain

Stage 8 Sat, 5 June 2027 from Riein (Ilanz) to Tschamut, 55.0 km with 1,310 m elevation gain. From Acla da Fontauna onwards, our route reaches 1,200 m above sea level and higher. In the event of poor weather or trail conditions, we will move the finish of Stage 8 to one of the railway stations between Disentis/Mustér and Tschamut-Selva (possibly adding a pleasant loop at a lower altitude beforehand) and take the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway from there to Tschamut-Selva. (750 m walk to the accommodation.)

A group hike

Stage 9 Sun, 6 June 2027 from Tschamut in the direction of the source of the Rhine at Tomasee, 15 km with 1,000 m elevation gain
At the beginning of June, weather and trail conditions, snowfields and rockfall may make it impossible to reach the source of the Rhine at Tomasee. One or two days beforehand, we will decide in consultation with the warden of the (then still closed) Badushütte whether the hike can go ahead or whether we will offer an adapted or different hike. Even if we are able to set off in the direction of Tomasee, we may have to turn back along the way.
We will do the hike as a group, regardless of how far it takes us.
The hike ends at Tschamut-Selva or Oberalppass railway station.
