Picture a turquoise lake, mountains watching you go by and wooden chalets cheering you on. That's the setting of the Brienzerseelauf, in Brienz, in the canton of Bern! 🏔️
Here, you'll lace up your sneakers on the shore of the lake, and that's perfect, because the course is a real immersion in nature 🌿.
When it comes to choices, you've got plenty. There's the 10 km to enjoy yourself without going into the red, or the 21.0975 km to treat yourself to a great challenge. You can even run the latter as a duo, ideal for sharing the effort (and the photos) with a buddy or your other half 🤝. The youngest runners have their own courses too, so the whole family can join in.
Once you've crossed the line, Brienz welcomes you with open arms. Hop aboard a boat trip on the lake to the Giessbach Falls, it refreshes both your legs and your mind. Then climb aboard the Brienz Rothorn Bahn, a steam train that climbs up there without you having to make any effort 🚂. For a more relaxed break, head to the open-air museum of Ballenberg, very close by, and enjoy the lanes of Brienz, the capital of wood carving.
And to finish, treat yourself to a drink on a terrace facing the lake, you'll have earned it 🍻.
