Reviewed by: Todd J
Just spent an amazing 7 days on the trails of the alps with great friends. We picked the classic Haute Route for the challenge and variety the the route presents. The crew at Run the Alps worked with the 5 of us to create an awesome itinerary with all the logistics taken care of. We were able to focus on enjoying the experience and everything that the region had to offer. Though self guided, we felt well prepared by the Run the Alps team. Highly recommend this route for anyone who wants a physical challenge with comforts of a nice place to recover each evening.
Why
A friend and I wanted to take on a fitness and adventure challenge to celebrate our 40th and 50th birthdays and the Haute Route checked all the boxes. We also loved that we could be self guided on the trails while having so many of the logistics handled for us.
Advice
If you want to be physically challenged while seeing a part of the world that is as scenic and epic as it gets, this is your trip. Be physically prepared for long days on your feet and have the right gear. Trust the Run the Alps crew to take care of the rest for you!
Highlight
Over and over again we would come over the top of one of the many mountain passes to see another vista as stunning if not more than the one before it. The variety of terrain and the different villages kept the anticipation high for each day.
