Welcome to the Hub!
The Hub is more than just a place to stay. It’s a place you can learn, share and have great conversations about trail running and adventure.
The spacious modern chalet is located in the charming village of Les Praz, Chamonix. It’s just a two-minute walk to the nearest bus stop and a 25-minute walk to the town center.
You’ll find The Hub open each summer trail running season from mid-June to mid-September. For exact booking dates, please see our online booking platform.

Our Philosophy
The Hub is a living example of Run the Alps’ mission to share and celebrate trail running in the Alps.
We believe that a sense of community is central to a good life. Our community – our tribe – is trail running. We’re passionate about it, because trail running has changed the course of each of our lives in meaningful ways.
The Hub is a place to share that spirit. That act of sharing, we believe, is enriching for all.
We welcome your input, because The Hub is more than just a building. It’s a community, and we look forward to growing and developing our offerings together. Reach out any time. We’re here. We look forward to hearing from you!
