Running & Trail running

Running and mountain-running around St. Moritz

Running is an ideal past-time for many to clear one's head and do something good for body and soul. It has become more and more popular in the last few years to treat oneself with an extra kick by not just running on asphalt but to enjoy the sport off-road. In the Swiss Engadine you do not have to miss your trail-running meters. Away from the trodden paths you can run on comfortably soft forest trails, on gravel, meadows and sometimes bedrock in front of the scenic Bernina-Massif into your  holiday happiness.

Classic running

Wonderful Jogging-trails aRound the Hotel Cervus

Joggers and mountain runners feel very much at home while vacationing with us. They do not even have to head in the direction of the mountains, they will find idyllic runs right outside the front door of the Hotel Cervus: The shores of the lake of St. Moritz which is less than 1 km away is a great place to jog along.

But you will also see more and more people in training outfit  sightseeing in running speed around the streets of the quaint St. Moritz "old town". Never mind whether you prefer to stay within the confines of the town or run around the lake, or get out further into the surrounding nature - the Hotel Cervus Team will give you valuable tips for highly recommended trails!

From real delights of high altitude training to competitions
