Swiss Snow Walk & Run Arosa

Swiss Snow Walk & Run Arosa is a winter mountain race in Arosa, Switzerland, held on snow and ice above 1,700 meters. It features four distances: 4.4 km, 8.3 km, the 11.3 km Weisshorn route, and 15.6 km, allowing participants to select anything from a brief winter excursion to a more demanding alpine run. The event takes place in deep winter and is presented as Europe’s sole winter run at this altitude. The courses follow snowy mountain trails, distinct from typical road or dirt paths. Participants share the event with hikers, walkers, and Nordic walkers. The race day accommodates beginners, serious trail runners, ambitious hikers, and those seeking a winter mountain experience. Children’s and youth races are also included. The event depends on volunteers, who are provided with food during their shifts and a token of appreciation.
