Rotenflue Mountain Challenge

From Schwyz to the foot of the Grosser Mythen

Take on the challenge. At your own pace, as often and whenever you want.

For four months (from May to August), you can register via https://www.melisport.ch/de/Veranstaltungen, select the Rotenflue Challenge at confirmation, and measure your time. Send the completed track by email to [email protected] to be ranked. Upon arrival at the Gipfelstubli, participants, upon showing the app, receive a non-alcoholic Einsiedler beer and a goodie from Salomon (during opening hours) at the kiosk, and can leisurely return to the valley for just 10 Swiss francs with the Rotenfluebahn.

At the end of the season, there is a reward for the fastest times as well as other prizes, which are raffled among the runners.
