Classic running tours 

Our classic running tours range from 4km - 10km in length and cover all aspects of Basel past and present.   Most tours are advertised based upon a one hour duration although longer tours are available upon request

 

Basel Highlights

Starting at the Munster this tour will explore many of the cities main highlights and explain how Basel became the city it is today. Includes the Munster, Celtic wall, Outer Wall, St Albans Tor, Klein Basel, Mittlerbruecke and the Lallikonig 

 

Hidden Treasures

For those who have 'done' the highlights, this tour is slightly off the beaten trail while staying in central Basel. Yes we will see well know landmarks of Basel, including the Munster, Mittlrebrucke and the Rathaus but we will also visit lesser known treasures such as the city's beautiful staatsarchiv building, Intersection 1992, the hammering man, the Lohnhof and  the Lallikonig (see left). 

 

Running the Rhine

Running the Rhine enables you to experience Basel from the banks of this important waterway. With its abundance of river side paths many of Basel's well known treasures are within view.  Run through 14th century city gates, alongside the only remaining section of the old city wall, across Mittlerbrùcke and the dam. If we time it right we can even experience a river crossing the local way - on a current powered ferry.  

 

Three Countries Run

The highlight of this Tour is arriving at the monument that marks the tripoint where the border of Switzerland, Germany and France meet. However as with every great Tour the journey is as important as the destination.  The shorter 1 hour Tour will take in the vibrant docks area and include the key sights such as the Cathedral, Marktplatz and Mittlerbrùcke.  Runners on the longer Tour will have more time to visit some old city treasures including the 14th century City gates, the old City wall and much more.
