Beaufortain is a nice region of Savoie department, South of Mont Blanc massif. With numerous good trails, amazing views over the mountains, large lakes, alpine meadow, it is a great destination for trail running.
After a few nice trails in the Bornes- Aravis Massif, we decided to go back there, this time to run around Sous Dine peak and the Plateau des Glières.
Despite its weird name, the Trou de la Mouche (the fly’s hole) is a very nice “peak” of the Aravis massif. It is actually like a natural tunnel in the cliff of Rocher Perfia peak, at 2,467m.
La Tournette (2,351m), is a very scenic peak of the Bornes Massif. The West side has big cliffs and offers amazing view over Annecy and its lake, while the pastures of the East side are perfect for trail running.
For once, we left the Mont Blanc Massif and went to the Jura for trail in the Valserine area (Crêt de Chalam)
Looking for a nice trail around Aiguille de Bionnassay and Domes de Miage?
This is a very scenic 18 km and +1,760 meters loop..
Continuing our exploration of the trails of Haute-Savoie, we went to Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval last weekend. The 28 km loop we chose might not be the best one for running but the scenery was fantastic.
Far away from races and crowd, we made our own routes along some of the best trails of Yosemite and Ansel Adams Wilderness.
Death Valley done! Amazing experience to run in this desolated place, alone, without support, without mobile coverage and no race crowd.
With a weather forecast too bad to go in the mountain, we changed our plan to run around Rochers des Fiz and Pointe d’Anterne. This 30 km Trail is definitively a must do!
La Jonction is a very scenic place where Bossons and Taconnaz glaciers met. The view over Chamonix valley and Mont Blanc is amazing.
The Nid d’Aigle is the start of the Gouter route of Mont Blanc but it is also a great place for Trail running… 24km and +1,250m/-2,000m.
