It's been a while since we've had a give away at CycloWorld. But it's that time again! You can win a free ticket to one of the most beautiful gran fondos in Switzerland and maybe even Europe.
The Tour des Stations has several distances. The ultra fondo is very special: 242 km/8848m+. This is everesting in gran fondo form. A bizarre challenge, but for lovers of long, tough events a must-do for the bucket list.
The Marmotte Granfondo Valais is the name of the gran fondo. It is a true Marmotte that may bear the name with honor. 4700 meters of climbing in 133 kilometers, it goes up and down non-stop. There are hardly any flat sections and therefore it is a beast of a gran fondo.
Even the medio fondo has 2850m+ in only 74 kilometers. Those who find the ultra fondo and the gran fondo just a bit too much of a good thing can get their fair share.

Alle the routes run through the Swiss region of Valais and follow several ski stations. Between the four-thousanders, it is among the most beautiful cycling areas in Switzerland. All distances finish uphill and that's what makes a gran fondo just that little bit more special. At the top of the finish line, a fabulous view of the Grand Combin (4314m) with its glaciers and eternal snow unfolds. One of the highest peaks in the Alps.
