Red Bull X-Alps
The toughest adventure race in the world.
Across the alps by foot and paraglider – and Disentis Sedrun is an official Turnpoint in 2025!
Red Bull X-Alps is the world’s toughest adventure race.

With athletes often hiking up to 4,000m of vertical ascent each day and running as much as 100km on foot, it’s not only an incredible test of physical endurance but also of flying skill.
Red Bull X-Alps is the ultimate test of body and mind and only open to the world’s best adventure athletes and paraglider pilots.
Red Bull X-Alps was founded in 2003 by the late adventurer Hannes Arch and has taken place every two years since then. The 2025 editionis the 12the dition of the race. Every edition since 2009 has been won by the Swiss athlete Christian Maurer, or ‘Chrigel the Eagle’ as he has become known to the race’s legion of fans and followers.
