Since 1912, the Morgarten Shooting Competition (300 m) has been held on November 15 at the Morgartendenkmal. Every year, more than 1,200 shooters from all over Switzerland gather for this physically demanding, friendly competition in memory of the Battle of Morgarten on November 15, 1315. This is Switzerland’s largest historical shooting competition, offering participants the opportunity to celebrate and experience the legend of Morgarten together. Together with the anniversary commemoration at the Battle Chapel and the Morgarten Pistol Shoot, the Morgarten Shoot forms the “Morgarten Tradition.”
