About
Join us for the Engelberg Trail Festival on Saturday 21st August 2027!
Take on an unforgettable trail running adventure in the heart of the Swiss Alps at the Engelberg Trail Festival, part of the RunThrough Trails Global Series.
Located around 25km south of Lucerne, Engelberg is surrounded by rolling green pastures, dramatic mountain peaks and more than 500km of spectacular trails. With its cobbled streets, traditional Swiss hotels and historic 900-year-old Benedictine monastery, the town provides a truly memorable setting for a day of alpine running.
Choose from a range of challenging distances designed to combine runnable trails with rewarding climbs and breathtaking scenery.
The 100K route takes runners on an incredible journey through the mountains, climbing towards Jochpass and Melchsee while passing beautiful alpine lakes before descending into the valley and joining the 50K route towards Wolfenschiessen. From there, the trail climbs once again towards the spectacular surroundings of Brunni before meeting the 25K route in the Fürenalp Valley.
Expect sweeping alpine views, dramatic peaks, technical sections and plenty of rewarding miles along the way. Whether you are stepping up to a new trail distance or taking on a major mountain challenge, Engelberg offers an unforgettable opportunity to experience the Swiss Alps on foot.
Join us in Engelberg on Saturday 21st August 2027 and take on your next trail running adventure.

Route information
Located 25km South of Lucerne, the picturesque town of Engelberg almost doesn’t seem real.
The cobbled streets, beautiful swiss hotels and 900 year old Benedictine Monastery are surrounded by rolling green pastures, out of which rise the titanic glaciated mountain peaks. This valley is truly magical and with 500km of trails to choose from you will not be disappointed. We have combined runnable trails with big elevation to create a range of challenges to suit everyone’s running aspirations.
The 100K route takes runners on a truly unforgettable journey. The race climbs to the heights of Jochpass and Melchesee, passing stunning hanging lakes before descending into the valley to meet the 50K course towards Wolfenschiessen.
From there, the trail rises again to the breathtaking setting of Brunni, before joining the 25K runners in the Fürenalp Valley. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and sweeping alpine views, this course delivers challenge and beauty in equal measure.
Far more than a “hidden gem,” these routes are a chance to experience the very best of the Swiss Alps on foot.
