241 KM. 8,848 M ELEVATION GAIN.
ONE DAY. YOUR EVEREST.
Connecting the resorts of Valais, climbing the mountain passes, and covering the total elevation gain of Everest in a single day: the Ultrafondo the Everest is the signature challenge of the Tour des Stations.
From the start in Le Châble all the way to the Col de la Croix-de-Cœur, every climb requires you to pace yourself, stay on course, and find the strength to keep going. At the summit, the 8,848 meters take on a whole new meaning: the realization of what you’ve just accomplished.

THE MOUNTAIN PASSES THAT AWAIT YOU
THE CHAMPIONS ARE BACK.
: A WIN TO BE HAD.
For the tenth edition, past winners of the Ultrafondo are invited to return to defend their titles against new challengers.
Will experience make the difference? Or will a new name go down in the history of the Tour des Stations?
What if you were the surprise?
WHICH STARTING POINT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
There are two start times available so you can tailor your day to your pace. Estimate your average pace, taking into account all your breaks, especially at the aid stations.
2:30 a.m. — TO HAVE MORE TIME
This ride is intended for participants who expect to maintain an average speed of 16 km/h or less, including breaks.
It is mandatory for women competing for the women's scratch ranking, due to constraints related to the television broadcast.
You have a maximum of 18 hours to reach the Croix-de-Cœur Pass before the finish line closes at 8:30 p.m.
5:00 a.m. — FOR A MORE STEADY PACE
This ride is intended for participants who expect to maintain an average speed of more than 16 km/h, including breaks.
It is mandatory for men competing for the men's scratch ranking, due to constraints related to the television broadcast.
Since the finish line at the Col de la Croix-de-Cœur closes at 8:30 p.m., you have a maximum of 3:30 p.m. to complete the course.
Intermediate time limits must also be met along the route. These will be specified in the roadbook.

On a day this intense, aid stations are essential landmarks. Identify their locations and the distances between them to plan your nutrition and hydration.
