Trail running in Liechtenstein
Personally tested by trail running guide Michael Lenz
Trail running
Trail running guide Michael Lenz has travelled to the mountainous region of the Principality of Liechtenstein to identify the country’s most attractive trail running routes. And he was not disappointed, because despite the fact that Liechtenstein is the fourth smallest state in Europe and the sixth smallest in the world, there are excellent trail runs to be found here.
The Valüna Valley is absolutely stunning for trail running

“Although the Principality of Liechtenstein is a small country, it offers an incredible number of trail running opportunities”

In Liechtenstein, Michael Lenz was surprised above all by the diversity and the good quality of the infrastructure. “You can find everything here, from very well maintained and relatively easy hiking trails, via narrow technical ridges and flowing trails through the forest.”

He especially likes the fact that the mountain region of Malbun is very well developed and with an outstanding infrastructure and a wide range of facilities for families is the ideal starting point for tours in all directions. Thanks to the Pfälzer Hut (2108 metres above sea level), adventures lasting several days including border crossing to Austria and/or Switzerland are also possible in Malbun.
