Set off to win your chan ๐ฅ at the Challenge of the Muverans! ๐โโ๏ธ More than a trail, embark on an alpine immersion in the heart of the Swiss mountains ๐๏ธ for the start of the school year, in the month of September ๐จโ๐ซ. This iconic event โจ is actually one of the first trails in the region, nearly 60 years old! The race makes its grand return to Ovronnaz, with its famous 60 km, 60 km - relay, and 9 km, and more precisely between the Canton of Vaud and Valais. With a breathtaking dรฉcor spanning hundreds of hectares, you will cross one of the most pristine forests ๐ณ in Europe in the Derborence pastures ๐๏ธ, and it is at the Rambert hut, perched at 2,582 m of altitude, that your journey will end ๐. Ovronnaz awaits you for unique experiences! ๐
Whether you are an experienced runner or a lover of splendid landscapes, there is surely a course for you.

And if you want to challenge yourself over the 60 km, head to the Muverans! Nestled in the alpine pastures, also enjoy the rocky landscapes ๐ชจ, the ibexes ๐, the chamois, or even the whistle of marmots! ๐ฆฆ With determination, you might aim for the time and break the record set by Christophe Jaquette (1996), at 7h22'49" ๐คฉ. Nice goal, isn't it?
And after giving your best ๐ช, why not explore the hidden treasures around? Switzerland has plenty of wonderful surprises for you! ๐ In less than an hour, take a stroll in Martigny, with its Roman ruins and its museum dedicated to the Gianadda Foundation ๐ฎ๐น.
