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.
Sun Travel to Chamonix, course briefing
Mon A classic warm up trail run, such as to the Mer de Glace, and across the balcon to Plan d'Aiguille.
Tue Today the focus is on key mountain skills for trail running, navigation, pacing and efficiency techniques.
Wed Run a section of the Chamonix Mont Blanc marathon to Montroc or further to Le Tour. Night in Chamonix.
Thu Often a day running in Italy or Switzerland, to run on sections of the UTMB race route.
Fri A longer trail run, up to a half marathon in length, to really put all the elements together. Night in Chamonix!
