September 4–6, 2026 | Silvaplana, Engadin, Switzerland

In the Engadin, sport is not simply about performance.

It is about the landscape, the challenge, the people you meet along the way and the extraordinary feeling of experiencing the Swiss Alps in motion.

From September 4 to 6, 2026, the SGRAIL78 Silvaplana brings all of these elements together in an innovative triathlon festival surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the Engadin.

Swimming through the waters of Lake Silvaplana, cycling along gravel routes through Engadin villages and finishing with a trail run through the alpine landscape, SGRAIL78 is designed around something greater than competition: the shared experience.

With Elite Estates St. Moritz, your SGRAIL78 weekend can become part of a complete luxury stay in the Engadin — combining adventure with the privacy of an exceptional residence and personalised Concierge Service.

The First Triathlon Festival in the Alps

SGRAIL78 Silvaplana introduces a different approach to the traditional triathlon.

Rather than focusing exclusively on performance and finishing times, the event places the experience and the community surrounding the sport at its centre.

The main SGRAIL78 challenge combines three disciplines in an extraordinary alpine setting:

1.5 km swimming in Lake Silvaplana

The experience begins in the waters of one of the Engadin’s most iconic lakes, surrounded by the dramatic mountain scenery that defines the region.

64 km gravel cycling through the Engadin

After leaving the water, participants continue by bike along a gravel route passing through Engadin villages and offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

12.5 km trail running through Silvaplana

The final stage takes participants onto the trails around Silvaplana, completing an experience that combines endurance, nature and adventure.

Together, these disciplines transform the traditional concept of a triathlon into an immersive journey through the Engadin.

Three Days of Sport, Community and Alpine Lifestyle

SGRAIL78 is not limited to the main competition.

The festival begins on Friday, September 4, with activities including the RYZON Trail Run Warm Up, coffee, the Pizokel Chat and bib number distribution.

On Saturday, September 5, the programme continues with swimming, the SGRAIL Kids Duathlon, a Gravel Community Ride and the pre-race briefing.

Then, on Sunday, September 6, the main competitions begin.

The SGRAIL78 and TEAM78 start at 9:30 AM, followed by SGRAIL78 LITE at 10:00 AM, with the first finishers expected from approximately 1:15 PM.

The day concludes with the finish closing and award ceremony at 6:30 PM.

Together with regional culinary highlights and activities surrounding the races, the weekend creates a meeting point for triathlon enthusiasts of different ages and experience levels.

Experience the Engadin Differently

Many people come to St. Moritz for its extraordinary hotels, restaurants, boutiques and internationally renowned events.

SGRAIL78 offers another perspective.

Here, the luxury is also in the landscape.

Swimming across an alpine lake.

Cycling through traditional Engadin villages.

Running surrounded by mountains.

And sharing those experiences with people who have travelled to Silvaplana for the same reason.

For active travellers, it is an opportunity to experience the region in a much more personal way.

Your Private Residence After the Challenge

After swimming, cycling and running through the Engadin, returning to complete privacy becomes a luxury of its own.

Elite Estates St. Moritz offers a carefully selected portfolio of exceptional residences available for rental, providing an ideal base for guests attending SGRAIL78.

Instead of adapting your weekend to the rhythm of a conventional stay, a private residence gives you space and independence.

Wake up at your own pace.

Prepare for the day’s activities in privacy.

Return after training or competition whenever you wish.

Spend the evening relaxing with family and friends.

And experience the Engadin from a place that feels entirely your own.

Whether you are travelling individually, as a couple, with your training partners or accompanied by family, our team can help identify a residence suited to your stay.

Concierge Service: We Take Care of the Details

Your stay should not.

For Athletes — and Everyone Travelling With Them

One of the advantages of attending SGRAIL78 in the Engadin is that the weekend does not have to revolve exclusively around the athlete.

While participants prepare for the swim, gravel ride and trail run, accompanying guests can experience St. Moritz and the surrounding region according to their own interests.

Explore the boutiques of St. Moritz.

Discover art and culture.

Enjoy the alpine landscape.

Spend a quiet afternoon in your private residence.

Or simply join the atmosphere surrounding SGRAIL78 and support participants throughout the weekend.

For families, the programme also includes the SGRAIL Kids Duathlon, making the festival accessible to younger participants.

With Elite Estates, everyone can experience the weekend differently while sharing the same exceptional residence.

After the Finish Line: Return to Privacy

Crossing the finish line is only one part of the experience.

After hours of physical effort through the Engadin, return to your private residence and allow the rest of the evening to unfold without schedules or crowds.

Through our Staff Hiring and Private Events & Dinner Planning services, we can assist in arranging a private chef and professional staff for an intimate post-race dinner.

Invite your training partners.

Celebrate with family.

Or simply enjoy a quiet evening overlooking the Alps.

The experience is yours.

Extend Your SGRAIL78 Weekend

SGRAIL78 may bring you to Silvaplana, but there is no reason your experience needs to end on Sunday evening.

September offers a beautiful opportunity to discover another side of the Engadin.

Extend your visit and spend several days exploring St. Moritz, its surrounding lakes, mountains, restaurants, boutiques, art and culture.

After the intensity of competition weekend, slowing down can become part of the experience.

A private residence gives you the freedom to decide exactly how long you want that experience to last.

Adventure and Luxury Can Belong Together

Luxury does not always mean doing less.

Sometimes it means having the freedom to do more.

To challenge yourself during the day and return somewhere extraordinary at night.

To spend hours crossing lakes, gravel roads and mountain trails before enjoying complete privacy in your residence.

To combine physical adventure with exceptional comfort.

SGRAIL78 and St. Moritz represent two sides of the same alpine lifestyle.

One is about movement.

The other is about having the freedom to experience that movement exactly as you choose.

From an Active Weekend to Your Own Home in the Alps

For some visitors, experiencing the Engadin through sport creates a connection with the region that extends far beyond the event.

The landscape you swim through, cycle across and run within becomes somewhere you want to experience again.

For guests considering a more permanent relationship with the region, Elite Estates St. Moritz also offers an exceptional portfolio of premium properties for purchase.

Our team combines local knowledge, discretion and personalised real estate advisory to help clients discover residences suited to their lifestyle.

From finding the right private residence for SGRAIL78 to discovering your own home in the Swiss Alps, Elite Estates can accompany you throughout the journey.
