The Markhor Clan

​

Because a passion for mountains and adventure is best shared together, The Markhor Clan invites families to experience a unique journey where young and old join forces to cross the finish line as one.

​

The adventure begins in the heart of Les Diablerets with a dedicated course of approximately one kilometre reserved for children under 12. For a few precious moments, the youngest members of the clan become the true heroes of the day. Cheered on by the crowd, they take on their challenge independently before symbolically passing the baton to their parent or accompanying adult.

From there, the adventure continues along the trails of the main course. Adults will discover the very essence of the event: panoramic climbs overlooking the Ormonts Valley, flowing single tracks through alpine meadows and forests, breathtaking views of the Diablerets massif, the beauty of Lake Retaud and the spectacular Dar waterfall.

​

Yet the greatest moment is still to come.

​

As the finish line approaches, child and adult reunite to share the final kilometre together. At that point, times and rankings no longer matter. What remains are smiles, encouragement and the unforgettable emotion of a challenge completed side by side.

Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, or in a spirited sprint for the most competitive clans, parents and children cross the finish line together, creating a memory that will last far beyond race day.

​

Some victories are measured by the clock. These ones are measured in memories.
