Trail running in the Bernese Oberland

Saturday 27.06.2026 – Saturday 04.07.2026

Run through the heart of Switzerland, where every step offers stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. This trail running journey takes you through one of the most iconic alpine regions, combining physical challenge with breathtaking scenery. For the first four nights, we stay at the welcoming B&B Spring Inn in Meiringen, which serves as our base for varied daily trail runs. Each day brings new terrain, from valleys and forests to open mountain slopes, followed by relaxed evenings to recover and enjoy the atmosphere. After these initial days, we pack our backpacks for a three-day crossing. Following panoramic trails, we run from Grindelwald via Gimmelwald to the quiet Kiental. A powerful and unforgettable finale, where freedom, elevation, and movement come together.

I am conducting this event together with bergtrails
