Bremgartenwald is a fantastic spot for a wooded trail run, only 3 km from central Bern. The so-called ‘Bremer Loop’ is a network of marked jogging loops, along wide paths through the woods with generally good footing. There are two main access points: West entrance (Bern Bethlehem) or East Entrance (Bern Neufeld). The Neufeld entrance is closest to Bern — only 3 km from the city center! Also in Neufeld, just across the main road (the E27), is the Neufeld Stadium, which has a nice jogging track.
The area is very well laid out for running. The marked, color-coded paths/trails that form the ‘Bremer Loop’ range in length from 1.9 km to 17.3 km. MAP

A classic European river run, although this one is especially charming. The 7 km loop, on the dedicated Uferweg on both sides of the river, is quite pastoral, with water views, pretty homes, and mountains in the distance.
The southern section of two great routes along the Aare River. This 7.7 km loop heads south to Eichholz state park, passing the Marzili pools and Schönau sports complex, returning on the eastern side. Can combine with north loop.
A nearly 10k 'runseeing' tour of central Bern, including the Inner City (Old Town), with its main squares and fountains, Weisses Quarter, the affluent Schwarzes Quarter, and the Kirchenfeld (Museum District).
Two, non-overlapping routes: a tour of the Kirchenfeld ('Museum District'), including paths along the river and the Tierpark, and a longer route that includes the Klee Museum grounds, the pastoral Murifeld, and Elfenau Park.
A pleasant run on through a couple of pastoral parks on the eastern side of the Aare, with an option to return along 'Embassy Row'. Elfenau Park is especially pretty, with paths through woods and around fields
A loop around the lovely grounds of the impressive Paul Klee Museum, the large lawns of the adjoining Kleine Allmend Park and Grosse Allmend Park, and ending at the Wankdorf sports complex, which has a great track!
Fantastic trail running for all abilities on Bern's local mountain, easily reachable by streetcar. Take the funicular to the summit to access 6 marked routes, ranging from a loop around the summit to various ascents/descents.
A lovely spot to run just north of Bern, combining the wooded trails of the Reichenbachwald (Reichenbach Forest) with some paths along the river. A couple of short ferry crossings make it an adventure! Longer options possible.
