Alpine Trail Running

We finished the 10km!

Are you a regular runner, running up to 10km or half marathon in distance, who would enjoy the opportunity to run in the mountains? Then join us for a week in the Chamonix Valley, France, running amongst some of the highest mountains in the world, with coaching from a World Champion athlete.

Our latest active holiday is a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Alpine Trail Running with the added challenge of entering a race at the end of the week. Chamonix offers several annual events on mountain trails which include: a 10km, half & full marathons and ultra distances. Previous experience of off-road running would be an advantage - but not essential.

  • Be coached on all aspects of trail running and gain expert advice
  • Enter a local 10km trail run or the half marathon with a pre race massage included!
  • Relax in the evening in your fully catered chalet with a hot tub and sauna
  • Enjoy running with stunning views of the Mont Blanc range
