Organiser's Description

Chamonix is a must for any trail runner. The town sits at the foot of the majestic snow covered peak of Mont Blanc, standing 4810m tall. The valley hosts the world famous UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc) race series and is a mecca for any outdoor enthusiast. The buzz of the town and the beauty of the trails provide an inspiring backdrop to our Intermediate Alps trip.

This weekend follows on from our Introduction to the Alps, and is perfect for those looking to build on their mountain experience and ability. You will be on the trails for most of the day, stopping for a picnic lunch on route. This enables us to explore higher trails above the Chamonix valley which offer awe inspiring views.

Each day your guide will look at advancing your techniques on uphills and downhills, making you a more proficient trail runner. Along the way, we bring the wild to life, with information about the local history, flora, fauna and geography. Our guides are all experienced trail runners, often ranking in local and world trail events, as well as undertaking solo adventures. So, this makes an excellent opportunity to ask questions and get some inside tips on how to succeed on alpine trails.

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!

Total cost is 610 Euros. A deposit of £200 will be taken at the time of sign-up with the balance taken 6 weeks before the trip is due to start.
