The Aletsch Halbmarathon is a mountain running event located within a UNESCO World Heritage site. The main race covers a distance of 21.1 km and features an elevation profile that provides views of the Great Aletsch Glacier and the surrounding four-thousand-meter peaks of the Valais Alps. The event attracts over 2,700 participants annually from domestic and international locations.
In addition to the main half marathon, the event includes different formats held over two days:
- 21.1 km (Aletsch Halbmarathon)

The event is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Trophy. The organizers provide various services for participants and spectators, including a lost and found office, accommodation information, and travel recommendations.
