Access by Car, Train or boat

From North, South, East or West: you can access the event location at the railway station of Alpnachstad perfect easily. By train from Lucerne in 20 minutes, by motorway or steamboat directly to the start event or, if you like it extra fancy, by the steepest cogwheel railway in the world from Mt. Pilatus.

Your challenge around the BergArena of Unterwalden

The Mountainman is a one-day-race for extrem and endurance sports people who are strong enough to run on single trails around the BergArena of Unterwalden. The unique route starts at the Mt. Titlis and passes on its length of 80.3 kilometers and 5000 meters of ascent deep blue mountain lakes, wild rock faces and breath-taking views into the high peaks of the Berner Alpen and the beautiful valleys beneath before it ends at the peak of Mt. Pilatus. Along with the Mountainman ULTRA there will be held the Marathon distance from Schönbüel the Mountainman MARATHON and the Halfmarathon distance from Langis the Mountainman HALBMARATHON.

The Mountainman of records

Along the route you will pass by several highlights: The Mountainman Trail is the longest Trail Running route of Switzerland: 80.3 km ! 5000 m of Ascent ! The steepest cogwheel railway in the world will take you back down from the mountain after the finishing line: the Pilatus-Bahn ! 30 km of the route are located in the biggest moorlands of Switzerland: the Glaubenberg !

We don't want to lose you

For your ideal preparation, you can download each Mountainman Event/Leg the files for Google Earth and your GPS-Device from our website.

The trail

The Mountainman trail is a race near perfection: with very few exceptions the route is kept on solid single trails, to both sides of the trail you will enjoy the most astonishing views into the Alps and down into the valleys beneath, glaciers, mountain lakes, steep rock faces and fairytale forests!
