Run the Alps Film Festival
Our film festival is a celebration of trail running in the Alps, showcasing inspiring stories, breathtaking landscapes and the deep connection between runners and their surroundings.
Since our pilot festival in 2022, we’ve grown to support emerging filmmakers through yearly grants, while also sharing classic Alps films featuring some of trail running’s most well-known athletes.
In line with our mission of creating an inclusive trail running community, our festival is available to watch free of charge, for everyone.
