Trail Running Special: 7 Churfirsten in One Day

Selun, Frümsel, Brisi, Zuestoll, Schibenstoll, Hinterrugg, and Chäserrugg

The Säntis Lodge is the perfect starting point for one of Switzerland’s most impressive trail running experiences: conquering all seven peaks of the Churfirsten in a single day.

This offer is designed for ambitious runners who want to take on this challenge—well-prepared, with local expertise, and supported by the excellent facilities at the Säntis Lodge.

Your Experience

You’ll arrive on Thursday. In the evening, if you’d like, a local guide will give you a personal orientation.
You’ll receive the optimal GPS track, specific recommendations for route planning, as well as tips on food, time management, and mountain conditions.

The best day to hike the Seven Churfirsten is Friday. There are fewer hikers out and about during the week, so the atmosphere is quieter and more pleasant.

On the day of the hike, you’ll start early—with a packed lunch available upon request starting at 4:00 a.m. After your hike, you can look forward to some well-deserved rest at the lodge.

Who is it suitable for?

  • Experienced trail runners in excellent physical condition
  • Confident movement in alpine terrain is required
  • Long distances and significant elevation gain are part of the challenge

Two-day option:
The Seven Churfirsten can also be split over two days. This option is ideal for runners who want to take the route at a more relaxed pace or spend more time enjoying the trails.
