Monterosa East Himalayan Trail MEHT

Discover the Monterosa Est Himalayan Trail (MEHT) — a breathtaking trail running race set beneath the highest rock face in Europe, the East Wall of Monte Rosa.

Surrounded by the unique and wild nature of the Alps, imagine running in front of the immense “east face” of Monte Rosa, the highest and largest in Europe, in an untouched Alpine environment, between Italy and Switzerland, passing through villages where you can still breathe the thousand-year-old tradition of the Walser populations. MEHT, the pure essence of trail running.

Starting in Macugnaga, Italy, MEHT offers five distances from the 58K EPIC (+4,100 m elevation gain) to a family-friendly Mini Trail. Runners cross alpine terrain, technical passes, and scenic mountain huts. Whether you’re a seasoned ultra-runner or a first-timer, MEHT combines mountain adventure, Walser culture, and unforgettable views in one epic experience.
