Trail runs in Sense

There isn't much time to warm up. If you love steep climbs, this is the place for you! And if you like tackling elevation gain right from the start, this is the route for you, too. But even if you’re looking for sightseeing and panoramic views, you’ll get your money’s worth! The route is a real challenge—it’ll stick in your memory and leave your legs feeling it—in a good way!

The trail running route winds through the Sense and Schwarzwasser valleys, passing through the picturesque Schwarzenburgerland region of Bern and the neighboring Sense district of Fribourg. Steep ascents and descents down to the water alternate with gentle rolling hills in between.

This route, also known as a hiking trail, starts at Schwarzsee and first follows the beautifully situated mountain lake before continuing along the entire Schwyberg ridge. Along the way, the trail offers spectacular views of the Pre-Alps and the lowlands of the Sense district.

One of the best trail in the area.

The Grandfey Viaduct on the railway line from Bern to Freiburg is one of the largest bridges in Switzerland. It was built between 1858 and 1862 and is 334 m long and 82 m high.With the electrification of the Swiss Federal Railways' rail network, the bridge had to be reinforced in order to be able to carry the heavier and faster locomotives and train compositions. Based on a concept by Robert Maillart, the pioneer of large concrete structures in Switzerland, the Grandfey Viaduct was given its new design between 1925 and 1927.
