Arrival of the Oron–Milan Marathon

Starting from their hometown of Oron in the canton of Vaud, they will pass through Lausanne and its Olympic Museum, where they will receive a symbol representing the Olympic spirit. From there, they will cross the Rhône Valley to the foot of the Alps in Saas-Fee, climb to the summit of the Fluchthorn, and continue toward the Mattmark dam before crossing the border to reach Macugnaga. Their final stage, from Macugnaga to Milan, will bring them through Piedmont and Lombardy, culminating in a grand finale at the House of Switzerland.

This journey is more than just a sporting challenge - it is a celebration of friendship between Switzerland and Italy. Join us to cheer on the athletes and be part of this extraordinary achievement:
