Nestled in the middle of Europe, Switzerland 🇨🇭 is a destination to discover that delights its visitors. Multicultural, the country is also rich in an 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: <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 brimming with cultural energy! The Swiss countryside is known for its lush green beauty 💚 and attracted many writers and painters in the past. And of course, let's not forget the majestic <a href="kavval://tags/lakes-ponds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakes</a> found within or along the borders of the Swiss lands. We can mention Lake Geneva, Lake Maggiore, and Lake of the 4 Cantons, 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 the race calendar in Switzerland here. <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Road running</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 reserved for the tough ones: 1,920 meters of race and 1,000 meters of elevation gain!!! Whhhaaaat? Yes, yes. Poles are essential on this <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical race</a>, which features sections over 50%... Another nature race in Switzerland? The <a href="kavval://events/0c1aad0b-bf92-4cd2-8388-8671f6d8ca00" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail de la Vallée de Joux</a> will let you discover the beauty of Vaud, a canton near the French border in the west of the country. Walking lovers 🚶🏻‍♂ can note the <a href="kavval://events/4346f5ad-8d01-4318-829a-4614db90e9e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vivicitta</a> race, held in Geneva. There will also be something for <a href="kavval://tags/kids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">children</a> in this event! 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>, still 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">Wildstrubel Trail by UTMB</a>—it's clearly worth the detour.Switzerland is also much more than running 🏃. Triathletes also have major meetups: the <a href="https://www.finishers.com/course/valais-triathlon-festival" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Valais Triathlon Festival</a> in <a href="kavval://cities/7619b0e7-0e2f-4048-b021-7a603e4e6f90" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sion</a>, between terraced vineyards and the crystal-clear waters of the Domaine des Îles, and the <a href="https://www.finishers.com/course/ironman-de-suisse-thoune" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ironman Switzerland</a> in <a href="kavval://cities/91f5cdca-faec-4d7a-906e-1a60283e14af" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Thun</a>, in the canton of <a href="kavval://cities/168a083e-3564-4705-b712-b3ae924446dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bern</a>, with its 3.8 km swim in the lake and its 180 km bike ride in the heart of the <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a>. Enough to weigh your ambitions before signing up 💪.

Switzerland

Switzerland and its cantons form a charming and cosmopolitan country, with some serious relief. Chocolate, watches, and banks yes—but above all, much more... with a whole string of mountain trails, cyclosportives in the Alps, triathlons and lakeside marathons, for our greatest pleasure!
