Organiser's Description
After the huge success of its 2025 debut, RunThrough Trails Ascona–Locarno is back — and it’s set to be a great edition once again.
There are few places quite like this unique corner of Switzerland, where the deep blue of Lake Maggiore meets palm-lined paths and dramatic alpine slopes. The mix of southern charm and mountain atmosphere creates an unforgettable setting for a trail adventure.
Runners loved the blend of vibrant town energy and serene natural landscapes. The route begins in the lively centre of Ascona–Locarno, passing the iconic Piazza Grande before easing onto peaceful riverside trails. Gradually, the mountains rise, and with them the lush vegetation that gives this region its almost tropical feel.
The ascent toward Pizzo Leone, standing proudly above 1,600 m, remains a highlight. From the summit, sweeping lake views stretch out below — the kind of scenery that rewards every step of the climb.
Prepare for a course that challenges, delights, and immerses you in a landscape unlike any other. Ascona–Locarno welcomes you back for another beautiful year on the trails.
