Description of the route:
Crossing the square at the exhibition ground you will reach after 100 meters the staircase of the Messeturm. Then you start running up to the Swiss sky taking the two times nine steps per level. You can support your leg work by pulling strongly with your right hand at the railing. After a short even section and the last step at level 31 you will see the finish line. It is very easy to run and the perfect start for tower running and the Run2Sky Europe.
