EIGER ULTRA TRAIL CAMPS
On the guided E101 or E51 camp, you won't just get to know the original course – you'll also lock in your race entry for 2027 or 2028, no lottery required. You'll be guided by Werner Marti, founding member of the Eiger Ultra Trail, and Déborah Marti, multiple-time winner of the E35 – including an overnight stay at Berghotel Faulhorn at 2,680 m and at Berghaus Männlichen.
Good to know: taking part in the camp guarantees you a race entry for 2027 or 2028. The race bib fee itself is not included and is paid separately.
