Reviewed by: Melissa
I’ve done several organized tours from city hopping in Japan to cycling in Spain and this was my favorite. Run the Alps had a great personal touch ahead of arrival, logistics along the way were seamless and the our accommodations were high quality with local character in most locations. Our guide, Suze, was incredible at ensuring our wide variety of paces were safe, fueled and had fun along the way.
Why
A friend of mine did this trip several years ago and it looked amazing. I finally took the time out for myself to do it. I love trail running and traveling and snacks so it was perfect!
Advice
Definitely prepare for the vertical gain, loss and technical trails of the alps. Also, if you have special food needs, bring some of your own trail snacks.
Highlight
There are so many but I think it was buying Beaufort cheese direct from a farmer and enjoying it at a refuge later in the day. I love the cows and cowbells in the Alps!
