Trail Running in Lenzerheide

Versatile trails from the valley floor up to the mountain peaks

Exercise in a diverse natural landscape and in the fresh mountain air - that is trail running in the Lenzerheide holiday region. Here you will find hilly, flat and also alpine trails for every level. The trails lead you across meadows, through forests, over bridges and streams, past cooling mountain lakes and up to the summits with their magnificent views. Enjoy running with a great panorama and fresh mountain air.

TRAIL RUNNING - THE WAY IS THE GOAL

Trail running refers to all types of running in a natural environment with a minimal amount of paved ground. You don't necessarily need mountains for this, because it is not the same as mountain running. Trail running can be done anywhere, as long as it is on natural ground. It is primarily about healthy exercise in a diverse natural landscape and the running experience itself, not performance. So it is often not just pure running, but an alternation of running and walking.
