Running fun in the Alps
Culinary Trail Tour of the Alps
Rating
Reviewed by: Tom F
More hiking than I thought (those Alps are steep in places!), and suitably paced stops for coffee and lunch made this way easier than just running a continuous distance. Guide (Siebrig) was excellent & knowledgeable, always making sure we were all ok. Huts and restaurants were good – especially in Zermatt where the food was amazing. Even more fun than I thought it would be and the scenery is amazing – the routes are well chosen. Would recommend.
Why
A friend proposed this as a good challenge, with some excellent food!
Advice
Do enough training, particularly up and down hills. Take your fuel of choice - plenty of snacks provided but you'll want what your body knows. Mostly...just do it!
Highlight
Hiking/running the 18k round the Eidelweiss trail to see the other face of the Matterhorn.
