The Best of Mont-Blanc Trail Running

Posted on

This is a trip that only Run the Alps could create! We polled our staff and guides, many of whom live and trail run in the Chamonix region year-’round, for their favorite runs around Mont Blanc. This tour is a true highlights trip, visiting all-time classic trail running routes, as well as some off-the-beaten-path days that we love and run ourselves. If you have just one trip in your near future to the Mount Blanc region, and want to sample a bit of everything, this is the tour we suggest! 


The Best of Mont Blanc Trail Running is a Level 2 tour, so compared to one of our Tour du Mont Blanc tours, it has shorter and more flexible days on mountain trails. It’s also a slightly shorter tour overall, with fewer hotel changes, which means less packing and unpacking during your vacation. While the best stretches of the Tour du Mont Blanc are included here, there are also runs in quieter areas, such as the Aiguilles Rouges, where we’ll enjoy a fast-packing adventure and stay in the Refuge Moëde Anterne.
