Graubünden Trail Run
A Trail Running Tour in the Alps
- 01Guarda: The Storybook StartThe trip begins with two nights in a tiny 17th-century village — the town that inspired Switzerland's favorite children's book. Day one's run is a loop up the valley to a mountain hut below Piz Buin, right on the crest of the Austrian border.
Guarda - 02Pontresina: The Big-Mountain MiddleTwo nights at the base of the Bernina range. One run begins from the door of our hotel. The next starts with a cable car and ends with a long descent past the Roseg Glacier, beneath Piz Bernina, the highest peak in Graubünden.
Pontresina - 03Vals: The Recovery FinishA quiet granite valley to the west. One easy out-and-back run under the Zervreilahorn, then an afternoon soaking at the world-famous Therme Vals and a farewell dinner.
