Our
most popular Alpine running course, based in Chamonix,
at the foot of Mont Blanc, as there are hundreds of
kilometers of trails to choose from. We offer a great
balance of running, coaching, and trail running advice,
preparation and top tips. These training camps are open
to anyone, but we suggest that you will get the most
out of them if you are happy running up to 10km, or
even a half marathon. Don't
worry if you have never run on trails before, as you
will pick up the skills quickly with expert coaching
and guidance.
