Davos X-Trails is a unique mountain run that demands everything from the participants and, depending on the run, pushes them to their physical limits. Therefore, it is important not only to prepare physically for this event, but also to have read all the important information.
The project brings children directly to local farms, where they discover first-hand how food is produced and why biodiversity, sustainability and responsible consumption matter.
All programmes are age-appropriate and combine theory with hands-on experiences — learning with head, heart and hands.
24 farms, the Davos Local Heritage Museum and regional partners are already involved. Around 150 children have participated so far — and many more are to follow. You run and support the next generation.
Participation is at participants’ own responsibility. In particular, participants are responsible for their health, their physical condition, and their equipment. All participants are expected to:

Requirements for Diamond and Gold Run
The runs take place in alpine, sometimes even high-alpine terrain. This requires the participants to adjust their caution, equipment, and race planning accordingly. There are individual steep ascents/descents, which require good sure-footedness. Being in good physical condition is essential for mastering Diamond and Gold. These are long and high alpine routes where participants consciously take higher risks.
Acclimatisation of ideally 5 days at an altitude of over 1,500 m above sea level is highly recommended when starting on the longer runs. Infectious diseases (angina, flu, etc.) that have occurred before the run can significantly reduce performance and pose serious health risks (e.g., heart muscle damage). Anyone who suffers from such a disease 6 to 8 weeks before the run should consult a doctor before participating.

All participants are entitled to an exact time measurement. This is done with a disposable chip integrated in the start number, which does not have to be returned. During the races, various intermediate times will be recorded electronically.
The running time is measured from the moment the start measuring mat is crossed. No legal claims against the organizer arise from faulty or inaccurate timing.
Participants can hand in one piece of luggage with a maximum volume of 35 litres at the drop-off station at the start number distribution point in Klosters before the start. Please make sure that your luggage is clearly labelled with your name and start number. Your luggage will then be transported to the luggage storage area in the ice stadium (south side) in Davos.
Personal luggage can be deposited at the luggage depot in the ice stadium (south side).

Our routes were recently reviewed in detail and remeasured. The course layouts themselves have not changed – however, the updated figures are based on a more precise assessment of the elevation profiles using data provided by swisstopo, the Swiss Federal Office of Topography.
As platforms such as Komoot, Outdooractive, Garmin and other GPS devices use different data sources, calculation methods and automatic smoothing of elevation profiles, the displayed values may differ from our official figures. The information published on our website reflects the most accurate and up-to-date measurement of our routes.
