Marmotte Granfondo Valais - Tour des Stations

Imagine a cycling enduro in the heart of the Swiss Valais, offering an exceptional sportive challenge linking the region’s ski stations in a spectacular environment. 

From the organisers of the legendary Marmotte sportive, the Tour des Stations launched in 2018 and returns in August 2022.

The tour follows the concept of the Marmotte Granfondo Series and Swiss Cycling Top Tour. Choose between distances of 242km, 133km, 74km or 34km - and the corresponding altitude gains of 8,848m, 4,700m, 2,850m or 1,950m. The courses feature hors categorie climbs like the mythical Croix-de-Cœur, topping out at 2,174 metres.

The event is distinguished by offering a unique challenge in the world: “To compete in one day against the height of Everest”.

The Tour des Stations crosses through the enchanting countryside of the Canton of Valais, its mountainous vineyards, picturesque nature, authentic villages and internationally renowned resorts.

The Tour des Stations has the ambition to become the reference of Swiss granfondo races, akin to the Marmottes Alpes in France and the Maratona dles Dolomites in Italy. Let’s hit the road!
