The Grand Raid BCVS, one of the most iconic Mountain Bike Marathon races, has been attracting enthusiasts since 1990. This marathon race, taking place on September 6, 2025, will connect Verbier to Grimentz, crossing the Valais Alps.

Known for its difficulty, the Swiss Mountain Bike Race Marathon course is one of the most demanding in high mountain terrain, with a summit at Pas de Lona, over 2,700 meters above sea level. The Grand Raid BCVS will provide a unique opportunity for riders to push their limits in a breathtaking natural setting.

MARATHON (XCM).

Cross-country Marathon sees racers compete on grueling 100km courses. Not only is a racer’s endurance tested, but also their ability to adapt to different terrain, as well as being able to play the mind games of racing in a fast-moving pack.
