Destination Lakeland: Three Lakes Region
Welcome to beautiful Seeland, the heart of the Three Lakes region! During your run through this unique region, you will be accompanied by the picturesque landscape and breathtaking views. Seeland is known for its fertile fields, endless vineyards and of course the magnificent lakes that give this area its name.
Let yourself be inspired by the fresh breeze of Lake Biel as you walk along the shore. The paths take you through historic villages and charming towns rich in culture and history. Take a moment to enjoy the tranquil beauty of Lake Neuchâtel before experiencing the invigorating atmosphere of Lake Morat.
The diversity of nature here is impressive: rolling hills, expansive fields and deep forests provide a perfect backdrop for this run.

Start/Finish
The start and finish are in the old town of Murten. Murten, the charming little town on the shores of Lake Murten, is a real gem in the Three Lakes Region. With its well-preserved medieval old town, picturesque alleyways and historic town walls, Murten exudes a unique charm. The lakeside promenade invites you to relax and enjoy yourself, while the many restaurants and cafés offer regional delicacies. Whether you stroll along the town walls, enjoy the magnificent view of the lake or discover the history and culture of the region - Murten offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
The Concept
The race in the Three Lakes region is a multi-day adventure that combines a sporting challenge, the discovery of the breathtaking Swiss landscape and encounters with like-minded people.
The concept: after a night in a hotel, your adventure starts around the three lakes. You will run or hike for 5 days and enjoy the fascinating nature and picturesque surroundings. You will spend 4 nights in a shared 2-person tent or outdoors (if you wish 😉) to experience the special atmosphere of the region even more intensively.
After the race, we return to the hotel to celebrate the end of the race together over dinner and to relax.
So that you don't have to start your return journey on the same day, the hotel room is again available to you for the last night. After breakfast the next day, you will return home.
