1000er Stägeli Run – A Short but Brutal Climb in the Jura

6.3.2026 – I run the 1000er-Stägeli several times: short, intense, and surprisingly tough. The staircase climbs steeply up the Born in the Swiss Jura, with around 1150 steps packed into a very short distance.

At the top, a short moment to catch the breath and enjoy the view over the Swiss Mittelland. Then it’s time to jog back down – and maybe think about doing it again.

Short distance, big effort. That’s the 1000er-Stägeli – LOVE IT!
