Discover the iconic route of the legendary Course des Cinq 4000, which connects Sierre to Zinal in the heart of the Valais Alps. This exceptional route immerses you in breathtaking landscapes with views of the Couronne Impériale.
From the valley, the route climbs rapidly along a challenging ascent through Saint-Antoine and the Ponchet alp to Chandolin. It then continues through Tignousa and past the Hôtel Weisshorn to Zinal, offering breathtaking panoramic views along the way.
Walking, it takes about 11 hours to cover the 31 kilometers of this iconic route. But when running, it’s possible to complete it in 6 hours.
The race record, set in 2019 by Kilian Jornet, remains simply exceptional: 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 35 seconds.
