Race guide

Silvretta Ferwall’s marathon-length mountain hike

The word marathon identifies the long route within a hiking event. Check the participation rules and intended format before entering with a running or qualification goal. A marathon-length hike should not be treated as a certified 42.195 km road result, and the shorter Ferwall route is a separate option.

The long route crosses high mountain terrain and includes substantial ascent and descent. Prepare for a long day moving with the equipment you need, with particular attention to downhill footing after the major climbs. Use the official marathon map and current conditions to assess suitability instead of judging the challenge from distance alone.

The organizer lists a start from 06:00 at the village square, while the route description places the finish at the sports and culture centre. Confirm the final start procedure, supported window and any intermediate requirements. Give companions the correct finishing destination and agree how you will meet after leaving the route.

Refreshment stops and huts are described across the event’s route network. Identify which ones lie on your selected marathon route and what is available before planning supplies. Check mountain weather and the organizer’s final equipment guidance shortly before departure; a valley forecast is not a guarantee of conditions at the high points. Save the current map and withdrawal contact, follow access instructions and consider a shorter offered route if the long option does not match your experience.
