The best outdoor adventure trip

Eiger Trail Running Guided

Thank you Run the Alps for this most memorable running adventure. I had the best time. It was a very well planned trip – 2 nights in Mürren, which is a quieter town, and then 4 nights in Grindelwald, which is a busier town with lots more going on. The routes that were planned by our guide Bruno are spectacular – they are just about the right amount of running that we need before the race on Saturday. Bruno has been the star of our trip – he is very accessible, experienced, fun to be with, and very supportive, especially for a novice trail runner like myself. He gave us a lot of trail running tips and he really took care of all of us. The hotels were high quality and they are in good locations. Food is great and all the trail snacks are taken care off, it is as worry free of a vacation as I can get. Run the Alps even arranged for a photographer for one of the days so we can get some professional photos taken while we are running – how cool is that??? The trip finished with an UTMB race, which was a lot of fun, I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a trip of a lifetime and I cannot wait for another run the alps trip again.

Why

I chose this trip because of the location. I have never been to Switzerland before and I would like to check out the Swiss Alps - and it did not disappoint! Also this trip ends with an UTMB trail race, and it is my first trail race so I thought it will be beneficial to do a training camp before the race to get familiar to the terrain.
