Stockhorn Half Marathon

About the Event

Nestled in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, this mountain run is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and challenging terrain. The race begins in the picturesque village of Oberwil and quickly ascends to Vorderstockenalp, where runners are greeted with stunning views and an impressive elevation gain that sets a high bar early on.
The route winds through charming alpine villages such as Bunschen, Weissenburgbad, and Weissenburgberg before reaching Tanzboden. As the trail progresses towards Schopf, it becomes increasingly steep, leading to Oberstockenalp where runners are awarded for their perseverance with the mountain prize.
From here, participants face one of the most demanding climbs of the race as they push upwards toward the summit of Stockhorn. The final ascent culminates in a breathtaking panoramic view that rewards every step taken along this challenging course.
With an elevation gain exceeding 1,700 meters over its 21.1 kilometers length, this run is not for the faint-hearted but offers unparalleled views and a sense of achievement that makes it truly memorable. At the finish line, runners are treated to refreshments while basking in the awe-inspiring beauty of their surroundings.
This event promises an unforgettable experience for those who love pushing themselves against the backdrop of some of Switzerland's most majestic landscapes.
