Do some runners walk or fast hike sections?

Absolutely! Here’s a serious point: Pretty much everyone walks up the hills in the Alps – including the Pros! Also, we’re not competitive. Trail running for us is about personal accomplishment, the pleasure of being in the mountains with friends, the joy of working hard in a beautiful setting… and enjoying a few luxuries after the run. If you’re into running as fast as you can, go for it—we’ll see you at the hut!
