This trip had it all – multi-star hotels and high mountain huts; flow-y high meadow trails with goats or cows, incredible glacial moraines, tarn lakes, and spectacular col crossings and mountain views every day; magic taxis & buses & gondolas when the legs needed them most; tarts, raclette, rösti, a 5-course meal or two, and terrific people – hikers, runners, hotel staff, old lady in the window with her cat wishing us ‘Courage!’, and old and new Run the Alps friends at the Hub!
