Vallorcine—the “valley of the bears”—is a favorite running destination of many at Run the Alps. It’s quieter than Chamonix, with high pastures and big views. This run features no shortage of both of those things and is home to one of the best refuges around.
Bonus KMs and Bailouts
The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we've included the download below.
