Description:

With a climb of 2’175 metres, “The Devilish Mountain Race” is a tremendous challenge for all mountain runners.

Only well-trained and experienced mountain runners should take part in the INFERNO half-marathon and relay race. High demands are made on personal responsibility. As one example, it may be cold or even snow on competition day, thus requiring suitable clothing.

Race distances: Relay (1) 7.130 km, (2) 7.492 km, (3) 6.475 km. Individual race 21.097 km

Distance 21.097 km, Inclination 2175 m.
Lauterbrunnen (795m a.s.l.) – Mürren (1640) – Schilthorn (2970).

The start is at Camping Jungfrau, directly below the Staubbach Falls, the landmark of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The first 11 kilometres appear fairly “harmless”, with a climb of around 800 metres, merely a warm-up. After the Sports Centre, it’s straight down to business. The Höhenlücke is the first wall to stand in the way of the “mountain goats”. After the Kanonenrohr (Cannon Barrel), which is two grades steeper, a 2km level stretch of scree awaits athletes before they tackle the steep 1.5km final climb of 400 metres to the Schilthorn summit.
