Trail Running in Switzerland: Pure Adventure and Nature

Trail running is more than just a sport – it is an experience that connects body and mind. Off the beaten path, trail running takes runners through untouched nature, steep terrain, and breathtaking landscapes. Switzerland offers the perfect conditions for this: from the majestic Alps to idyllic lake landscapes, this small country is a true paradise for trail runners. With our race calendar, you can easily get an overview of the variety of trail runs in Switzerland.

Highlights of the Swiss Trail Running Scene

Trail running has a firm place in Switzerland’s running calendar. Three of the most popular trail runs are:

Eiger Ultra Trail

The Eiger Ultra Trail in Grindelwald is one of the most famous and challenging trail runs in Switzerland. Covering a distance of 51 km with 3,100 meters of elevation gain, it pushes even the most experienced runners to their limits. The route consists of 43 km of diverse trails, hiking, and forestry paths, with only 8 km on asphalt.

A special highlight of the Eiger Ultra Trail is the breathtaking view of the impressive Eiger North Face, making this trail an unforgettable experience.

Arosa Trail Run

In Arosa, participants can choose from three exciting routes suitable for different skill levels. Beginners can take on the 15 km course with 974 meters of elevation gain, while advanced runners can challenge themselves with the 21.1 km course featuring 1,338 meters of elevation. For true professionals, there is a demanding 52.9 km route with 3,391 meters of elevation gain.

As a reward for their efforts, participants are treated to stunning views of the majestic Grisons mountains, making this trail run an unforgettable experience.

Swiss Trail Tour

The Swiss Trail Tour in Lenk is one of the most versatile events in the trail running calendar, offering challenges for every level. The full distance of 103 km is completed over three days, but there is also a shorter one-day option of 30 km for those who prefer a more compact trail run experience.
