Excellent Tour for a Range of Running Abilities
Eiger Trail Running Guided

Reviewed by: Eric Laser
My daughter had been on a Run the Alps guided tour in the past and recommended this company. We chose the Eiger tour because there are a variety of transportation methods in the area (cog railway, tram, lifts, buses) that allow for a variety of options to shorten a route if needed; however, these were rarely needed. Our guide, Bruno, was superb. He was able to recommend a variety of routes, but we all mostly stayed together. The scenery was breathtaking, the food wonderful, and the UTMB race at the end of the trip was the perfect ending.
Why
For the amazing scenery and the numerous route options available each day, from shorter to medium to longer.
Advice
You could easily do this tour unguided as well, but it was comforting to have someone familiar with the local routes to help guide us. That way, instead of looking at maps a lot and questioning our own navigation, all we had to do was follow Bruno!
Highlight
The 35K UTMB Eiger trail race at the end. Run the Alps set all this up for us, so all we had to do was show up to grab our bibs and start the race!
