Nestled in the heart of Europe, Switzerland 🇨🇭 is a destination to discover that delights its visitors. Multi-cultural, the country is also rich in exceptional natural heritage: the <a href="kavval://places/23794e59-ce39-4e35-84d7-b0d3b651211f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jura</a> as well as the <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a> shape the outlines of Switzerland. The Plateau, also called the Midlands, is a central geographical area that is home to the country’s four main cities, namely <a href="kavval://cities/daed6c5c-c431-4113-9689-6785f7784f9c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Geneva</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/f4df3c0f-89c2-45ca-ac81-61548ed7e013" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lausanne</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/168a083e-3564-4705-b712-b3ae924446dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bern</a> and <a href="kavval://cities/1ec7cff5-aeb6-4bc1-9d5e-21f94941bf30" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich</a>. Cities that are culturally vibrant! The Swiss countryside is known for its lush green beauty 💚 and has attracted many writers and painters in the past. And of course, we can’t forget the majestic <a href="kavval://tags/lakes-ponds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakes</a> found within or bordering Swiss lands. Think Lake Geneva, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Lucerne, but the country is dotted with lesser-known lakes that are well worth the detour—so take a look <a href="https://travelise.ch/blog/articles/les-10-plus-beaux-lacs-de-montagne-en-suisse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>... Get your language dictionaries ready: Roger Federer’s country is rich in different cultures. French is spoken of course, but also German <a href="kavval://countries/88499f9e-b753-44b7-9b26-8baad00b18e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">🇩🇪</a>, Italian <a href="kavval://countries/bf9d0ae3-bd54-4be7-8994-c53c42cfd0f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">🇮🇹</a> and... Romansh, less well known! A true Erasmus country 😃. Mountain lovers are of course invited to discover Switzerland, in summer ☀️ as well as in winter ❄️. Skiing and hiking are on the agenda.Find here the race calendar in Switzerland. <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Road races</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> or <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walking</a>, all Finishers will find what they’re looking for (no pun intended 😄) in Switzerland. In Valais, a region in the southeast of the country, the <a href="kavval://events/e65ee8c8-ca03-4cde-bda3-59596cb0916f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fully Vertical Kilometer</a> is for the tough ones: 1,920 meters of racing and 1,000 meters of elevation gain!!! Whhhaaaat? Yes, yes. Poles are essential for this <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical race</a> with sections over 50%... Another nature race in Switzerland?

There will also be something for <a href="kavval://tags/kids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">children</a> in this race! Road runners will inevitably sign up for the <a href="kavval://events/768ccb55-d49b-4055-be56-6a7d52ccda3b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Geneva Marathon</a>, run in particular along the shores of Lake Geneva... The <a href="kavval://events/3c460aea-e76d-4df1-8a4b-33c4c4c48359" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lausanne Marathon</a>, also in French-speaking territory, lets you discover the capital of the Canton of Vaud. If you want even more nature and adventure, let yourself be tempted by the <a href="kavval://events/6458d863-1a4a-47c1-8e45-7da34fe0cb1f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail de Wildstrubel by UTMB</a>—it’s clearly worth the detour.Switzerland is also much more than running 🏃.

Switzerland

Switzerland and its cantons make up a charming and cosmopolitan country with definite relief. Chocolate, watches and banks yes, but above all much more... with a string of mountain trails, cyclosportives in the Alps, triathlons and marathons by the lake, for our greatest pleasure!
