An absolute dream!

We had been planning for an Alps trip for 10 years, and we cannot imagine doing this trip without Run the Alps! Working with Steph was a breeze. She provided reassurance for all of our bookings, great advice for the towns, gear, transportation, you name it. The route Run the Alps curated was perfect, and we loved doing it self-guided. With the maps, daily run down of the routes, and the GPX files, it allowed us to be on our own schedule, but provided peace of mind.

Why

The challenge of the Via Valais region and getting to experience Switzerland. A perfectly adventurous way to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!

Advice

Train, especially if you're not used to the altitude and/or elevation gains. Embrace the beauty, even in the toughest of moments.

Highlight

Probably the huts - my favorite was having coffee on the porch at Cabane des Becs de Bosson when we arrived there after a long and challenging trek from Arolla!
