BULL TRAIL
27km / 1'600 m+
"Gstaad, the wild side"

After a Saturday dedicated to Les Diablerets, head to the other side of the Pillonpass and Gstaad for a route that will allow you to discover the resort from the magnificent Horeflue viewpoint with its 360° view of the Bernese Alps and part of the Simmental.
After the start, which will allow you to cross the beautiful pedestrian area of Gstaad, you will gently slope down to the Turbach Valley and the river of the same name that winds through this enclosed valley. The second challenge leads to the Parwengesattel pass (1,939 m), followed by the Horneggli plateau with its magnificent views of the Bernese Alps and the Gastlosen. Shortly before reaching the top station of the gondola from Schönried, a beautiful single trail skirts around the summit of the Horeflue. From there, the descent to Gstaad begins—steep and direct—offering a glimpse of the splendid chalets of this iconic resort in the Bernese Oberland.
This route will allow both short-distance specialists and beginners to discover the Gstaad region in a different way than through its luxury shops.

CHALLENGE 2D For only CHF 15.- extra, you can also take part in the 2-day challenge offered as part of our 10th anniversary. The idea is as follows: you register for a race in Les Diablerets on Saturday (TAKIN, RHINO, or YAK) and then choose the 'CHALLENGE 2D,' which will allow you to participate the next day in Gstaad, either on the 14km course or the more demanding 27km course. The final choice can be made when picking up the bibs for the Sunday race. A special ranking based on the total mileage covered and a coefficient will be established at the end of the 2 days. More information on the dedicated page. |
