Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc, providing a stunning backdrop
to our Intro to the Alps weekend. As featured in Runners World, Times
Top 30 Active Holiday Ideas, Telegraph’s Best Running Holidays and
the Guardian, this is a perfect adventure for any runner looking to
discover mountain trails! This weekend caters for those who are new to
alpine running and those with more experience.The trails wind through
pine woods, up to balcony paths, with breath taking views over Mont
Blanc. We pick some stunning routes of 13-15km each day which show the
valley at its very best. Along the way, we teach techniques to help
increase your confidence over this terrain. Our experienced guides
bring the wild to life, with information about the local history,
flora, fauna and geography. Each day features a checkpoint with local
and seasonal produce. One day includes our famous cheese and wine
tasting!
This activity break focusses on both running, and relaxation. Each run
lasts around 3 hours, leaving you plenty of time to relax and explore
Chamonix or take a trip up to the Aiguille du Midi. You will be
staying in a 4* spa hotel with access to a pool, sauna and jacuzzi so
you can unwind and enjoy the views.
On the Friday evening the group meets for dinner with the Run the Wild
Team. It’s a great weekend to make new friends and enjoy alpine
trail running at its best. As with all Run the Wild holidays, all you
have to do is book your flights, turn up and run – we will take care
of the rest!
