What will the trails be like in Chamonix?

Chamonix offers some of the most iconic trail running terrain in the Alps. Expect a mix of rocky singletrack, forest paths, alpine balcony trails, and steeper climbs with incredible views of the Mont Blanc massif. The trails can be technical in places, with roots, rocks, and uneven ground, and most runs include a decent amount of elevation gain and descent thats part of what makes running here so rewarding. We choose routes based on the group and conditions, aiming for the best balance of scenery, flow, and safety, with plenty of pauses to regroup, refuel, and take it all in.

Do I need to be a serious trail runner?

Our runs are designed for beginner to intermediate trail runners who already have some experience on uneven terrain. As a guideline, you should be comfortable running for 35 hours and managing roughly 1,000 metres of elevation gain. Good pre-trip preparation is important, as running in the Alps is typically more demanding than most other places with steeper climbs, higher altitude, and more technical trails. We always tailour each day to the group. Distances, elevation, and technicality can be adjusted to suit varying fitness levels and confidence on the trails, ensuring everyone feels supported and challenged in the right way. In short: you dont need to be an elite mountain runner, just motivated, trail-curious, and ready for some big, beautiful days in the mountains.

Are there minimum guest numbers for the trip?

Yes there is a minimum of 5 and maximum 8 people for this trip. Until we meet the minimum number the holiday is not confirmed. Once we meet the minimum number we will advise and only at that point should you book flights for the holiday. The reason we have minimum numbers is because we often use chalet properties rather than hotels so we need a certain number to make the make the trip viable. We cannot adjust the number of guest rooms as you can with a hotel.

Course Details

Day one
Arrive in Geneva and transfer to Chamonix via shared airport transfer. Check in to our elegant chalet for the next four nights. Join an optional trail run or enjoy some personal time to relax and use the hot tub, before yoga and guided relaxation, followed by our welcome dinner.

Day two
Morning yoga outside on the decking if the weather allows. Personal time to shower and prepare for the day before we have a delicious breakfast to fuel and nourish us. We’ll then head out for our first shakeout run, nothing too strenuous for the first time on the trails in Chamonix. However, there is always some elevation gain and technical running wherever you run in the valley.

Late afternoon yoga will focus on restorative poses and will finish with a guided relaxation and meditation. You will then be free until early evening when we will have a delicious three course family style dinner, with plenty of food to refuel, stimulate your taste buds, and spark some curiosity.

Our run will be approximately 3-4 hours total, 8-13km distance and up to 500m of elevation gain and descent.

Day three
Each day will follow a similar format to the first. Today will begin with a ride on one of the many gondola lifts in the Chamonix valley. Then we run a higher balcony trail offering amazing views of the mountains and allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this amazing alpine landscape.

Our run will be approximately 3-5 hours total, with 10-15km distance and up to 500m of elevation gain and 1,000m descent.

Day four
Today we will take the train from Chamonix up the valley towards the Swiss border. The run will be 3-5 hours with an optional hour-long valley run at the end. 10-15km (optional distance adds another 10km). Expect more elevation gain today – up to 1,000m up and down.

The focus on the yoga today will be maintenance in the morning and then targeted post-run yoga stretching and a guided yoga nidra relaxation.

Day five
The day starts with energising vinyasa flow yoga before we have our last breakfast together. Check out of the chalet is by 10am and you start your onwards journeys, refreshed, well fed, and hearts full. New friendships made with a renewed outlook on life, work, and what balance truly means.
