Cervino Matterhorn Ultra Race

The Cervino Matterhorn Ultra Race is an extraordinary ultra-trail event that spans 70 kilometers with a massive 5,000 meters of elevation gain. Set in the Alps of northern Italy, this ultra challenges runners with its steep ascents, technical ridgelines, and high-altitude passages. The race passes beneath the iconic Matterhorn, offering breathtaking views while simultaneously requiring runners to be well-prepared for the thin air and the technical difficulties of glacial and rocky terrain. The 47 km race, with 2,900 meters of elevation gain, provides a more condensed yet equally scenic challenge, while the 28 km option is a great introduction to high-altitude trail running, featuring 1,800 meters of climbing. Other, shorter races, ensure that there’s something for every level of trail runner​.
