Trail Running and Fast-Packing Specialists
We specialise in taking people trail running in some of the most fantastic scenery in the world. Is there a race route that you want to recce? Or you like the idea of doing the running, but would rather cover a more "humane" distance each day than doing the race would allow: not to mention the bonus of comfortable hotels and luggage delivery.
We offer both guided and self-guided versions of some of the most iconic trail races in the world, including
the Mont Blanc Ultra Trail, the Tor des Géants in the Aosta Valley, the Lavaredo Ultra Trail in the Dolomites. We also arrange running trips on routes that are traditionally for trekkers, such as the Corsica GR20, the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites, along with running trips in the Pyrenees, the Verdon Gorge and the Jura. If you prefer a centre-based trip, then why not try one of our Chamonix-based running camps - anything from a 3 day minibreak to a one week trip, where you can experience the trails of the Chamonix Mont Blanc Marathon, or test yourself on Chamonix's Vertical Kilometre.
Can't spot what you're looking for? Contact us and we'll be happy to help. Our prices generally include luggage delivery, most meals, good quality lodgings and an expert and fully-qualified guide.
