Σχετικά με τον αγώνα
Sierre-Zinal is a mountain race in the Valais Alps of Switzerland, following a 31-kilometer route from Sierre toward Zinal. It is a serious alpine run, not a flat road race: runners climb 2,200 meters and descend 1,100 meters before the finish.
The course is set in high mountain country, offering appeal through its long climb, descent, and views across the Valais Alps. The race registration includes streams for local residents, juniors, groups, tourists, and individual runners, suggesting a field broader than only elite mountain specialists. Its longevity is tied to strong organization, a friendly atmosphere, and a landscape that gives runners a clear reason to return.
