Whether as preparation for the Grand Prix of Bern - the largest fun run in German-speaking Switzerland and a top-class sports festival - or as a challenge after extensive training: this jogging circuit is definitely worth experiencing! The 16-kilometre route combines training and sightseeing in a (strenuous) way. Tip: Be sure to save enough energy for the steep final ascent to the Rosengarten, because from there it's another kilometer or so to the finish.

Tip from the author

Everyone should actually do the Bern Grand Prix once. The atmosphere is priceless. The next GP is on May 10, 2025.
