Trail running at 2000 meters

If you are brave enough to break new ground, you’ve come to the right place. Up here, trail runners discover new favorite routes and immerse themselves in a unique mountain world. Step by step, they explore a huge range of tours: peaceful trails across alpine meadows, leisurely tours along moderate paths or challenging routes with lots of altitude gain. And one thing is certain: the higher the distance, the greater the training effect. This advantage is used by runners with a wide variety of goals. But no matter how fit you are – what counts is your experience, your courage and the smile that accompanies you during the run. And you know what: We think a trail run on the most beautiful plateau in Switzerland just makes you happy!

Running. Showers. Enjoy.

Why return directly to the valley when you can extend your trail running day on the Engstligenalp? After an extended tour, the cozy raclette hut invites you to stop off – whether for lunch, a refreshing break in the afternoon or a relaxing end to the day.

If you want to freshen up beforehand, you will find modern showers and practical, lockable lockers right next to the mountain station – ideal for changing and safely storing a change of clothes.
