The Event

One Race.
One Traverse.



Verbier Ultra is a 3-day stage race through the Val de Bagnes — one of the most spectacular alpine valleys in Switzerland. Each stage takes you deeper into the mountains, from hut to hut, through landscapes most people never get to see on foot.

This isn't a road race with barriers and sponsor banners. It's raw, essential, and real. A weekend that strips everything back to what matters: the trail, the mountains, and the people beside you.

"Using sport as a vehicle for consciousness — pushing the limits of self and community."

What Makes VU Different

The Verbier Ultra Experience.

01 Pristine Landscapes

From the valley floor to 3,000m summits — alpine scenery that most people only see in photographs, run on foot across three days.

02 Alpine Hut Nights

Sleep in mountain huts between each stage. No hotel lobbies, no city noise — just the mountains, your fellow runners, and a well-earned meal.

03 A Real Community

Muddy laces become shared memories. Aid stations become impromptu parties. A community of ultra runners who show up for each other.
