Trail runners will salivate over the endless variety of trails in the St. Moritz area. It’s a massive network, with well-waymarked paths and something for runners of all abilities. One good option, in summer, is to take the funicular to the 2,456m summit of Muragl, where trails extend in all directions. This is some of the most scenic day hiking in Europe. Some of the trails are wide, not too steep, and with good footing, while others are more steeper and more challenging trail running. We suggest picking up a map and finding a route that suits your ability.

The 5 km loop around Airport Samedan is popular with runners, as it's one of the better bets in the St. Moritz area for a flat tempo run on a paved surface. Also one of the most scenic routes in proximity to an airport we've ever taken!
