One of the main attractions of trail running is the ability to experience more of the landscape. You’re not just faster, you see more of the mountain. This adventure takes you from Davos to Prättigau in three days. In between lies a sea of mountains that you won't soon forget. This three-day trail run route along the Swiss-Austrian border is suitable for experienced runners for whom a single day in the mountains is no longer enough.

The first stage starts in Davos and you take the Parsennbahn funicular to get up high. This gets the juices going, as it reveals an impressive view of the surrounding mountains from the Weissfluhjoch. From here, you have 18 kilometres (11 mi) to Klosters in the Rätikon, which is a popular destination for climbers from all over the world because of its steep walls. You have particularly impressive views of these walls on the ridge run along the Swiss-Austrian border. On the third and final day, you run from St. Antönien to Fanas. Once again, the Tour takes you along impressive limestone walls to the top station of the Fanas cable car. When you sit down here on the terrace of the Sassauna mountain inn, you will have covered almost 70 kilometres (43 mi), with 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) of ascent and 4,500 metres (15,000 ft) of descent in three days.

The best time of year is usually from mid/end of June to the beginning of October. At this altitude, snowfields can persist into the summer and extreme weather conditions can quickly set in. Always keep an eye on the weather forecast and pack the appropriate equipment. Find out about the trail conditions beforehand and book your accommodation in advance.

We recommend using public transport to get there and back, because it’s not a round trip. The Swiss Federal Railway (SBB) goes to Landquart, then you change to the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) in the direction of Davos. From Fanas, a bus takes you to Schiers, from where you can easily return to Landquart by train.
