INTRODUCTION TO THE ALPS
Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc, providing a stunning backdrop to our Intro to the Alps weekend. As featured in the Times Top 30 Active Holiday Ideas, Telegraph’s Best Running Holidays and the Guardian, this is a perfect adventure for any runner looking to discover mountain trails! This weekend caters for those who are new to alpine running and those with more experience.
The trails wind through pine woods, up to balcony paths, with breath taking views over Mont Blanc. We pick some stunning routes of 13-15km each day which show the valley at its very best. Along the way, we teach techniques to help increase your confidence over this terrain. Our experienced guides bring the wild to life, with information about the local history, flora, fauna and geography. Each day features a checkpoint with local and seasonal produce. One day includes our famous cheese and wine tasting!
This activity break focusses on both running, and relaxation. Each run lasts around 3 hours, leaving you plenty of time to relax and explore Chamonix or take a trip up to the Aiguille du Midi. You will be staying in a 4* spa hotel with access to a pool, sauna and jacuzzi so you can unwind and enjoy the views.
On the Friday evening the group meets for dinner with the Run the Wild Team. It’s a great weekend to make new friends and enjoy alpine trail running at its best. As with all Run the Wild holidays, all you have to do is book your flights, turn up and run – we will take care of the rest!
If you would also like to add yoga sessions to your trip, then check out our Running and Yoga trip.
A deposit of £200 is taken at the time of sign-up with the balance taken 3 months before the trip is due to start. Let us know if you prefer to schedule payments following your deposit.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“‘Exploring places not running races’ is the perfect description of a Run the Wild event. Over the two days I learned lots about the history of the local area and the nature that makes up the carefully balanced ecosystem around Mont Blanc. Every run had stunning views and felt safe and fun! Coming back after a long run to massage and yoga at a spa hotel was the icing on the cake! Cannot recommend highly enough regardless of your confidence level, if you want to trail run, then these guys will safely make that a reality!”
“Sitting at the airport about to depart & still buzzing from an epic run/yoga weekend in the Alps! I can’t recommend it highly enough & can’t wait to book the next trip. You’ll come away having experienced incredible views in great company & feel accomplished at what you’ve achieved in the mountains. Thank you, Simon & team”
“Absolutely amazing weekend running in Chamonix! Stunning scenery, great runs, fun and friendly people, top experience overall. Well organised by Simon and the team. If you are considering going to one of their events, you should do it! Based on my experience, you will have a great time :)”
“Absolutely AMAZING trip to the Alps with Run the Wild. My first solo trip away and Run the Wild could not have made it easier. Fantastic communication, event was extremely well organised and guides were excellent. This trip is a must for anyone interested in trail running.”
“Amazing weekend in the Alps with Run the Wild, such kind and caring people, generous with their training tips and catering for different abilities. Very inclusive atmosphere. I highly recommend their events.”
“I honestly don’t think the weekend could have gone any better. The RTW team were great from start to finish and the trails were great fun with amazing scenery. The wine, beer and cheese check points just topped it off. Thank you.”

“The team at RTW are exceptionally friendly and relaxed and have given me a weekend to remember! Organised, welcoming, informative and inclusive making it a fun packed, nicely challenging adventure and introduction to trail running…Highly recommend and would definitely do again!”
“A passionate team of runners who’s experience on trails and in the Alps translated into friendly, easy to understand lessons. I’ve been running on trails for over a year and attended a few lessons on technique; their Intro to the Alps was the best I’ve experienced to date – a logical sequencing of technique that built into practical application. Highly recommended for new and experienced runners.”
“Just completed the ‘ Intro to the Alps’ with Run the Wild and it was amazing!! Every single detail of the trip had been really well considered, planned & executed from hotel choice, run routes, guides, fuel stations, yoga sessions (which I’m not normally a fan of- & I loved it). If you are remotely considering booking a weekend or event with Run the Wild my advice is to go for it, you will have a ball!! Thanks guys for having us.”
“My first ever trail running in the alps and it didn’t disappoint! The whole weekend was brilliant. Run the Wild are incredibly supportive and give you so much confidence. And what better checkpoints could you have – wine and cheese tasting day 1 and beer and cheese tasting day 2. Yoga was very welcome and definitely helped after the runs. The group was awesome and I made some great friends! I would throughly recommend this trip – the achievement you feel at the end of each day is incredible! Run the Wild has really sparked my love for running :-)”

“I had an absolutely fantastic time and felt the team were all super professional, gentle and really well organised. The routes were beautiful and the cheese and wine tasting was such a great touch. It felt great to be able to run in such a beautiful place without the stress of getting lost or taking risks with safety. I wouldn’t think twice about doing something like this again with Run the Wild.”

“Just completed the ‘ Intro to the Alps’ with Run the Wild and it was amazing!! Every single detail of the trip had been really well considered, planned & executed from hotel choice, run routes, guides, fuel stations, yoga sessions (which I’m not normally a fan of- & I loved it). If you are remotely considering booking a weekend or event with Run the Wild my advice is to go for it, you will have a ball!! Thanks guys for having us.”

“My first ever trail running in the alps and it didn’t disappoint! The whole weekend was brilliant. Run the Wild are incredibly supportive and give you so much confidence. And what better checkpoints could you have – wine and cheese tasting day 1 and beer and cheese tasting day 2. Yoga was very welcome and definitely helped after the runs. The group was awesome and I made some great friends! I would throughly recommend this trip – the achievement you feel at the end of each day is incredible! Run the Wild has really sparked my love for running :-)”

“I had an absolutely fantastic time and felt the team were all super professional, gentle and really well organised. The routes were beautiful and the cheese and wine tasting was such a great touch. It felt great to be able to run in such a beautiful place without the stress of getting lost or taking risks with safety. I wouldn’t think twice about doing something like this again with Run the Wild.”

“One of the best trips ever, on par with going skiing. From start to finish was just awesome. The run, the pit stop snacks, the passing of knowledge on old mans beard, the dogs etc was just brilliant. Thank you!!”

“What an incredible sunset run that was!! I’m not sure anyone thought that we’d see a sunset with the heavy rain and storms forecasted, but the sun shines brightest after a storm and the sunsets are even better!”
