The Route

560 km across Switzerland

From Geneva through the Valais Alps, the Bernese Oberland and central Switzerland to Bregenz on Lake Constance.

To be honest On 20 % gradients, rough terrain, in bad weather or after 300 km on tired legs, "running" sometimes turns into very brisk walking or fast hiking. The kilometres stay the same — only the form adapts to reality.
