Six of our Favorite Runs in the Swiss Alps
Run the Alps Switzerland: 3o Must-Do Trail Runs
Produced by our team at ALPSinsight, Run the Alps Switzerland is the definitive trail running guidebook to the Swiss Alps. The book contains much more than trail running routes – it’s full of our photos, stories from some of the sport’s characters, general Swiss Alps travel beta, and tips for out on the trail.
WAY UP
Not simply running on trails,
these routes require bigger mountain skills and experience.
