Stairways to Heaven
About this event
Stairways to Heaven takes runners through the rugged terrain above Ambrì in Switzerland's Ticino region. Set in mid-May when Alpine wildflowers begin to bloom, this technical trail run challenges participants with steep ascents and demanding mountain paths. The event's name hints at the vertical gain awaiting runners as they climb through forests and rocky passages typical of this corner of the Swiss Alps. Located in the Leventina valley, the course offers views of the surrounding peaks and villages clinging to mountainsides. This is one for experienced trail runners comfortable with elevation and technical terrain, where proper mountain running skills make all the difference.
