Run the Alps’ Inaugural Via Valais: Snow and Sun amid the High Alps
Guided by Mark Brightwell
This year, Run the Alps offered a September guided trail run over the Via Valais, a route designed by our friends at ALPSinsight. Wandering through Switzerland's Valais Alps, the route is high, wild, and challenging.
