Since 1990, the Grand Raid BCVS has stood as one of the most iconic Mountain Bike Marathon races, drawing passionate riders from around the world. Set for September 6, 2025, the marathon race will connect Verbier to Grimentz, cutting across the stunning Valais Alps.
Renowned for its intensity, this Swiss Mountain Bike Race Marathon features one of the toughest high-altitude courses in the sport, with its highest point at Pas de Lona—soaring above 2,700 meters. The Grand Raid BCVS is the ultimate test of endurance and determination, a unique opportunity for the athletes to push their limits surrounded by the breathtaking, raw beauty of the Alps.
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.
A dream come true! Riding the World Championships on the legendary Grand Raid BCVS route—one I absolutely love—is beyond incredible. This is the highlight of my career! I'm 100% convinced this race will be unforgettable.

The Grand Raid BCVS is more than a race—it’s a testament to human endurance, unbreakable team spirit, and the raw, untamed beauty of the Val d’Anniviers. Crossing the finish line in our valley is not just a personal victory—it’s a powerful, emotional moment that unites athletes, locals, and visitors in a shared celebration of achievement and togertherness.
