RUN FAST. EAT SLOW. IN BERNESE OBERLAND, SWITZERLAND
August 3rd - 9th, 2026
7 DAYS & 6 NIGHTS
Rise and Run with Elyse in the Alps!
Check out the daily itinerary and trip cost here.
On this trail running tour of the Bernese Oberland we’ll experience staying in three different beautiful mountain towns, and traverse some of the most famous mountain terrain anywhere in the Alps, if not the world. On this Level 2 tour, we’ll run about 8-12 miles each day, taking plenty of time on the uphills, pausing frequently to take photographs, enjoy the scenery, and sample great food and drink en route. We’ll trail run from Grindelwald over the historic Grosse Scheidegg pass, then cruise along high pastures with sweeping views of the Eiger. In the mountain villages of Wengen and Mürren, we’ll run along outstanding trails past high farms (including stops for some great lunches!), within sight of the Jungfrau, one of the most photographed mountains anywhere.
