From August 7 to 9, 2026, St. Moritz becomes the setting for a weekend where sport, nature and the distinctive alpine lifestyle come together at the St. Moritz Running Festival 2026.

Surrounded by mountains, forests and the spectacular lakes of the Engadin, the festival offers much more than a traditional running event. It is an invitation to experience St. Moritz outdoors — whether you come to compete, support a runner, travel with your family or simply enjoy one of the most beautiful summer weekends in the Swiss Alps.

With Elite Estates St. Moritz, the experience can extend far beyond the finish line.

Stay in the privacy of an exceptional residence, enjoy personalised concierge assistance and allow us to take care of the details while you experience St. Moritz entirely at your own pace.

A Running Festival for Every Kind of Runner

The St. Moritz Running Festival brings together several races designed for different levels and ambitions.

The programme includes the 25.5 km Engadin Summer Run, the 12 km Run Pontresina, the challenging 6 km Free Fall Vertical with more than 1,000 metres of elevation gain, a Kids Race and a new 6 km route from Silvaplana to St. Moritz.

From experienced athletes looking for their next alpine challenge to recreational runners who simply want to experience the landscape, the festival offers a different way to discover the Engadin.

And the scenery is part of the experience.

The new 6 km Run S, for example, follows a spectacular route from Silvaplana towards St. Moritz, passing alongside four picturesque lakes before reaching the Festival Village in St. Moritz Bad.

More Than Running: A Weekend in St. Moritz

You do not have to be a runner to enjoy the weekend.

At the Festival Village in St. Moritz Bad, the three-day programme includes culinary experiences, public yoga sessions by the lake, courses, live music and activities for children.

This transforms the Running Festival into an ideal occasion for couples, families and groups travelling together — even when only some guests intend to participate in the races.

While one person takes on the Engadin Summer Run, others can enjoy a relaxed morning by the lake, explore St. Moritz or simply spend the day surrounded by the extraordinary landscape of the Swiss Alps.

Your Private Residence After the Finish Line

After kilometres through the Engadin, there are few luxuries greater than returning to your own private space.

Elite Estates St. Moritz offers an exclusive portfolio of luxury properties for short and seasonal stays, allowing guests to experience the Running Festival with greater privacy, comfort and independence.

Imagine beginning race day with breakfast in your residence, returning after the finish to relax in complete privacy and ending the evening with dinner prepared especially for you.

Whether you are travelling individually, as a couple, with friends or as a family, we can help you find a residence suited to your stay and lifestyle.

Concierge Service: We Take Care of Everything Around Your Stay

A weekend in St. Moritz should feel effortless.

Our Concierge Service is designed to take care of the details surrounding your visit, allowing you to concentrate on the race — or simply on enjoying your time in the Engadin.

Depending on your requirements, Elite Estates can assist with:

• Tailored luxury property rentals
• Restaurant and experience reservations
• Private chefs and household staff
• Private dinners and event planning
• Personal shopping and gifting
• Art advisory and curated experiences
• Personalised assistance throughout your stay
• Relocation services for guests considering a longer stay or future life in St. Moritz

Every experience is organised individually and discreetly around your preferences.

Your Own Post-Race Experience

Crossing the finish line does not have to mean the end of the day.

Return to your private residence and allow the rest of your afternoon to unfold exactly as you wish.

Perhaps that means a quiet moment overlooking the mountains, a private dinner with family and friends or reservations at one of St. Moritz’s restaurants.

Our concierge team can help transform the hours after the race into an experience of their own.

Because luxury is not necessarily about doing more.

Sometimes it is simply about having everything taken care of.

For Those Who Prefer to Experience St. Moritz Without Running

The St. Moritz Running Festival is equally appealing for those accompanying participants.

While runners explore the Engadin on foot, their guests can discover another side of the destination.

Spend the morning enjoying the lakes and mountains, visit the Festival Village, experience its culinary programme and live music, explore St. Moritz or enjoy the privacy of your residence.

Families can also experience the festival together, with dedicated children’s activities and the Kids Race forming part of the weekend programme.

With Elite Estates, every member of your party can experience St. Moritz differently — while sharing the same exceptional stay.

Extend Your Weekend in the Engadin

The Running Festival may bring you to St. Moritz, but there is little reason to leave immediately after the final race.

August is an exceptional time to experience the Engadin.

Extend your stay and discover the region beyond the running routes: alpine landscapes, lakes, gastronomy, culture, art and the unmistakable atmosphere that has made St. Moritz one of the world’s most celebrated mountain destinations.

Our team can help arrange the details so that a sporting weekend becomes a complete St. Moritz summer experience.

From Visiting St. Moritz to Calling It Home

Some experiences in St. Moritz create the desire to return.

Others create the desire to stay.

For guests considering a more permanent connection with the region, Elite Estates St. Moritz also offers a carefully selected portfolio of premium properties for sale.

Our team provides personalised real estate assistance for clients searching for more than simply a property — but a private home and lasting connection to the Engadin.

From your first weekend in St. Moritz to discovering your own residence in the Alps, Elite Estates can accompany you throughout the journey.
