Swiss Trailrunning Camp in Sils Maria | 23 to 26 July 2026

Sils Maria sits at 1,800 metres in the Upper Engadine, ringed by lakes and high trails that run for kilometres above the treeline. It is rare terrain for trail running, open, scenic and varied, and it makes an ideal base for a few focused days on the trails. This three-night Swiss Trailrunning Camp, hosted at Schweizerhof, a Faern collection resort, pairs guided running and technique coaching with comfortable half-board evenings. The group is small, the pace is set by the terrain, and the Engadine does the rest.

The programme

Four days, built to progress from arrival legs to a full day tour, then a relaxed send-off.

Friday morning: welcome trail run

A short, easy run around Sils to warm up. The loop is a gentle first taste of the altitude and a chance for the group to find its feet, with moderate pace and open views over the Engadine peaks.

Friday afternoon: trail technique seminar

A practical seminar on the trails around Sils Maria with experienced trail running coaches. The focus is movement on terrain: efficient descending, climbing, pole work and equipment tips. Theory and practice alternate, with the Upper Engadine as the training ground.

Saturday: full-day trail tour

The highlight of the camp. A guided day tour with views over the Upper Engadine lake landscape, with trails chosen to suit the weather and the group's level. Food on the route is organised, and the day ends with a shared dinner back at the Schweizerhof.

Sunday morning: farewell run

A relaxed final loop along the lakes. Easy pace, time for last conversations and a look ahead to future trail running events. After a late brunch at the hotel, departure is at your own pace.

A few quiet days in the Engadine

A trail camp here is as much about the recovery as the running. The evenings in Sils Maria are still and clear, the air is thin and clean, and half board means you can run hard and rest properly without thinking about logistics.
