Pssst! Our Run the Alps Store is Here!

Dec 4, 2016

Our new store is the result of one simple question, we get over and over again: “How do I get one of those?” For years, we have heard that refrain throughout the Alps. It happened when we were doing recon for trips in Switzerland’s Berner Oberland. It happened at the finish line of Sierre-Zinal, and it seems to happen all the time when we’re hanging out at L’Atelier in Chamonix, taking a break between trips.

Now there’s an easy answer: online!

We put our name only on items we really adore.

Like that Patagonia Black Hole duffel! That’s our go-to bag for our Run the Alps trip on the Tour du Mont Blanc, where each day gear is shuttled from village to village, as we run over high passes and past remote farms. When you’re back in Chamonix, in a snap it turns into a backpack for hauling gear through town. Our original bag has been tossed, slid and heaved onto 300 trains through the Alps, and it’s still going strong.

Run the Alps staff and friends are happy to share this easier answer to “How do I get one of those?” than, “You need to know a guy who knows a guy.”
