The course 2023
After the start in Zurich the riders are heading towards hillier regions via the Freiamt and Sursee. From there the participants tackle the climbs of Glaubenberg and Brünig before the Grimselpass is set to be the biggest obstacle of the race. After passing through big parts of the canton of Wallis the climb from Täsch to Zermatt will present the last big challenge. With 280 kilometers and approximately 6’000 meters of elevation, Zurich – Zermatt is set to be the toughest one day race in Switzerland.
The Time Table 2023
The race is set to start at 1:15 am in the morning with the first riders. The last riders are expected to arrive at 7:00 pm in Zermatt. Bus transport for the return journey can be booked via the shop (limited number of participants). This departs at 20:15 from Täsch via Bern back to Zurich.
The categories 2023
Zurich-Zermatt can be completed in four categories: Singles, Relays, Couples or Happy Threesome.
The Singles conquer the whole course by themselves with only limited help from outside. Assistance from third parties are only allowed at the checkpoints in Muri, Grimsel and Ulrichen. In addition to the luggage transport from Zurich to Zermatt we also offer a transport of belongings from Zurich to Ulrichen and from Ulrichen to Zermatt.
The Relays consist of two riders that relay and split up the whole course between themselves. The teams are allowed one support car. The cars are allowed to enter the race course from km 24.1 (Muri) on. The Glaubenbergpass will be closed for the support cars and are diverted from Entlebuch.
The Couples also consist of two riders, but they complete the entire course together and are allowed to draft in eachothers slipstream. They are allowed to get a support from outside at checkpoints Muri, Grimsel and Ulrichen.
The “Happy Threesome” consists of three riders, who ride the entire route together at all times. The three riders are allowed to draft in eachothers sliptstream. Besides that, drafting is strictly prohibited. They are also allowed outside support at checkpoints Muri, Grimsel and Ulrichen.
