We've been asked how things are working out with our new Director of Hospitality, Izzi. We are pleased to report that she is growing into her job, and looks forward to meeting guests when our trips resume. Here she is with Run the Alps pal @wheres_georgie Photos by our friend Dan at @skinnylegsphoto #dogsofinstagram #dogrun

Run the Alps seamstress at work! 🙂 We have new Run the Alps masks, handmade by our friend Marleen in Chamonix. (Last time we made a batch, they sold out quickly!) They are $10 each, plus $5 shipping from here at the base of Mont Blanc. Message us if you'd like one!

Just in time! Our virtual Tour du Mont-Blanc was winding down as snow was in the long range forecast. Here's our day running from Chamonix to Les Contamines, France. Look for the tour, hosted by Run the Alps guide Sam Hill, in about a month. #running #runhappy

A day at the office sometimes looks like this...! ⛰ ☕️ 🏃🏾‍♂️

Rainy days didn’t stop us from visiting with hotels and refuges, and scouting new trails in the Gardena and Funes valleys in the western Dolomites. 🗺

Join us in June 2021 on these world class trails and enjoy your very own ‘la cioccolata all’Italiana fondente’! 😋

@7sddmtrail the alps’ oldest trail race, heads off for another year. Next year will mark 50 years since the first edition!

“Raw. Gritty. Gut wrenching. This will go down in the annals of adventure as the truly epic running feat of our time. And only on croissants and cappuccinos? Brilliant!” — @davidlaney12

With most trail races cancelled this year, three friends from Run the Alps decided to tackle an audacious challenge, inspired by @rickeygates . Here’s the trailer. International film debut coming soon!

We have a name! 🐶
Over 200 of you suggested names for our new Director of Hospitality. The winning suggestion? Isabella, aka Izzy.
The suggestion came from Run the Alps' inner circle-- Steph Lefferts, our Tour Manager. Daydreaming on the train ride to Zermatt to visit with some of our hotel partners, Steph started googling early bad ass women climbers of the Alps-- and came across Isabella Straton, also a political activist for women's rights. Sealing the deal, we found out that Isabella lived just 200 meters from our Run the Alps home here in the valley.
To celebrate, we picked one winner who will get a care package from our Run the Alps store. Congrats to Kathy Degn for having the good luck to get her name drawn!
Here are a few photos of our new Director of Hospitality— who put on three pounds in the last 10 days!

Sometimes we have to talk about things other than blueberry pies and sweeping alpine views. Run the Alps’ friend, photographer and all around trail running pal @kimberly.strom is currently in California, fighting cancer. She’s kicking it in style—but needs our help!

We encourage you to read more about her journey (link in our bio) and consider joining us in person this Saturday the 25th at @bigmountainbrewingcompany in Chamonix for a fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting Kim.

In 1821, ‘La Compagnie des Guides’ was created after an accident on the Mont Blanc. Nearly 200 years later, we are fortunate to work with an amazing team of certified International Mountain Leaders (IML) who are full of incredible insights about the Alps. Indulge in the history, endless trails, and fresh French baked goods during the NEW virtual tour of Chamonix. We kick off on July 5. There’s still time to register!
