Trail Run with The Mirnavator in Switzerland!
We are so excited to welcome Mirna Valerio back to the Alps! This trail running tour of Switzerland’s scenic Bernese Oberland traverses some of the most famous mountain terrain in the world. We’ll take plenty of breaks, support each other along the trail and the stoke factor will be high. (Psst: If you’re looking for fast-paced long days on technical trails, this is not the tour for you! Contact us for suggestions.)
We’ll run about 4 – 8 miles each day, and make the most of Swiss mountain trains and gondolas. There’ll be plenty of time for photographs, to enjoy the scenery, and to sample great food and drink en route. We’ll trail run over historic Grosse Scheidegg pass, then cruise smooth trails through high alp pastures with striking views of the Eiger. In the alps villages of Wengen and Mürren, we’ll take in working alp farms and stop at mountain restaurants. We’ll run alongside waterfalls in the Lauterbrunnen valley, just beneath the Jungfrau, one of the most photographed mountains in the world.
Our typical day starts with a continental buffet breakfast at our hotel – fresh baked bread, local cheeses, cereal, fruit, coffee and juice. Once out on the trail, we’ll ease into a steady pace and take advantage of mountain trams and railways. Most days, there are options for either a shorter or a more ambitious route. Each morning, we’ll offer a variety of trail nutrition from which you can choose, to keep you fueled during the day. Almost all of our runs will include stops at mountain huts or alp farms, where we can sample local cheeses, röstis or a fruit torte.
In the evenings, we’ll enjoy dinner together at our hotel. These are multi-course meals featuring local Swiss specialties, and will definitely be hearty, filling, well-earned and very delicious. We will leave one night in Grindelwald unscheduled, so you will have a chance to explore to your heart’s content.
