The Great Waterfall Skyrace, Bavona

Open the race website and it tells you that this is “a race that will introduce you to one of the most famous and iconic valleys of the Alps.” – and they are not wrong! Nestled away in the Swiss canton of Ticino, the Bavona Valley is famed for its cascading waterfalls, centuries-old granite stairways, and airy trails carved into the sides of the mountains.

This is an incredibly scenic trail race in a beautiful area and one that should be high on your “to-do” list if you are in the area.
