Guided Tours
Our guided Run the Alps trail running tours include one or two trail running guides per group. Our guides are knowledgeable about local languages and customs, and are intimately familiar with the areas through which you’ll be running. Many of them have extensive trail running and racing experience in the Alps.
We’re proud of our guides—they’re some of the best-known and most talented trail runners in the Alps, period. They’re more than just expert trail runners with deep knowledge, though– they’re also really great people.
Group sizes range from just a few clients, to a maximum of ten.
