Snowrun Jungfrau + Lauberhorn Run

Wednesday 17.03.2027 – Monday 22.03.2027

Snow under your feet, fresh mountain air in your lungs, and the ultimate race-day adrenaline. This special edition of our winter trail running week in the Jungfrau region combines breathtaking snow trails with a legendary sporting challenge. The first few days we will explore the most beautiful white mountain paths around Grindelwald, Männlichen, and the Hasliberg at a brisk pace. But we will also save some energy, because the final day is Raceday! Together, we will stand at the starting line of the official Jungfrau-Lauberhorn Run. You will tackle the iconic World Cup downhill ski course from Innerwengen all the way up to the starting hut on the Lauberhorn: a grueling but epic climb of 4.48 kilometers and over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. After crossing the finish line, we will celebrate our achievement at the cozy Pizza Party in Wengen, before heading back to the Spring Inn to look back on an unforgettable winter running adventure!

Program

Day 1: Wednesday, 17.03.2027 - Night trail

After arriving at the Spring Inn, we will first power up with some delicious snacks. Then, we will put on our trail shoes right away for an extra loop on the Hasliberg. With our headlamps on, we will enjoy the view of the lights of Meiringen. The exact route will be determined shortly beforehand.

Day 2: Thursday, 18.03.2027 - Into the Winter on the Hasliberg

Today we will first explore the Hasliberg. From the Spring Inn, we will run to the valley station of the ski lift. Naturally, we will head uphill, and as we climb higher, we will find ourselves surrounded by more and more snow. Do you dare to challenge the T-bar lift to a race right away? We will complete a beautiful loop along the winter hiking trails before heading back down into the valley.

  • Distance: 22.47 km
  • Elevation: 1309 m
  • Max height: 1849 m
  • Spring Inn

Day 3: Friday, 19.03.2027 - First and Faulhorn

Today we take the train to Grindelwald. We will run all the way up to the Faulhorn, heading against the direction of the longest sledding run in the world! From there, we continue to First to enjoy the stunning views towards the Schreckhorn and Eiger. Afterwards, we will make a great descent along the snow-covered trails.

  • Distance: 25.89 km
  • Elevation: 1866 m
  • Max height: 2679 m
  • Spring Inn

Day 4: Saturday, 20.03.2027 - Cross-country skiing and trail running

In the morning, we will travel to Gadmen for a cross-country skiing lesson. Whether this is possible depends on the snow conditions: sometimes there is not enough trail left for cross-country skiing. If the conditions allow, we will try our hand at moving on the skinny skis. In the afternoon, we will put on our trail shoes once more for a short loop in the Rosenlaui Valley.

Day 5: Sunday, 21.03.2027 - Raceday - The Lauberhornrun

We finish the week by participating in the Lauberhornrun. This awesome race runs from Wengen up to the Lauberhorn, conquering 1,024 meters of elevation gain in the opposite direction of the world-famous ski race from the Lauberhorn.

  • Distance: 3.98 km
  • Elevation: 1035 m
