After the GHT and the Via Alpina, Anna and Philippe left for another long traverse across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. They planned to run 600 km along the GDT but nothing went as planned : rain, snow storm, bears, mud, mosquitoes and injuries. Ultimately they made 300 km in harsh conditions.
Lucky with the weather, I had a busy summer leading clients in the Massif. It is now time to sort out the photos, walk less
Long day in the hill today leading clients around Tete des Fours in the Southeastern part of Mont-Blanc Massif. We have been rewarded with amazing
We went to the Gorges de l’Ardeche for a great to trail running day. The scenery was amazing and we had the place for ourselves
Wishing to run across the Triglav, Dolomites, Tyrol, la Bavaria, Interlaken…, they decided to follow a combination of the red and green Trail of the Via Alpina. To limit the overall distance to 1,000 km, they decided to start in the Triglav National Park (Slovenia) and finish in Chamonix (France). From the Triglav, they followed the Red Trail across Italy, Austria, Germany to Lichtenstein. From there, they switched to the Green trail to Lenk in Switzerland. After Lenk, they made their own trail to Chamonix, France.
Looking for new Trail, Anna and I found a scenic one from Passy to the base of Aiguille de Varan. 20km, +1,150m / -1,150m.
We resumed our trail running training but there are still lot of snow above 1600m, so we found a new short Trail around Les Houches
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.
We went for a nice trail running in the Mont Blanc Massif, my first 20+km run since I came back from the Makalu expedition.
