Chasing Cancellara Bern-Zermatt 2026

Chasing Cancellara Bern-Zermatt is a long road race across Switzerland, starting in Bern and finishing in Zermatt. The route covers 275 km with 5,500 meters of climbing, placing it firmly in the endurance road-racing category, distinct from the short gran fondo segment of the sport. Riders can enter in several formats: Singles ride the full distance alone, Relays split it between two riders, Couples ride together as a pair, and Happy Threesomes ride together as a trio. Team riding is significant in the paired and trio categories, as drafting behind teammates is permitted. This transforms the race from a solo survival test into a shared pacing and teamwork challenge. The event is part of the Chasing Cancellara series and is organized by Sette Sports AG.
