Alpine Trail Running Weekend 2027
Friday, 23 July 2027 — Sunday, 25 July 2027 · Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France
About this event
On this weekend getaway in the Alps we feature stunning trail runs through alpine meadows covered with a kaleidoscope of wild flowers and breathtaking views over the Mont Blanc Massif. Saint Gervais Les Bains is a beautiful alpine French town, with its cute cafe’s and bakeries, located at the foot of Mont Blanc. It’s famous for its thermal springs, Tramway du Mont Blanc (used by climbers looking to summit the mountain) and its vast area of alpine meadows which are popular for skiing in winter. You will be staying at the brand new Le Saint Gervais Hotel. This is a great follow on trip for those that have completed our Introduction to the Alps or Running & Yoga or Trails in the Alps trips, but you don’t need any prior experience of running in the Alps to take part. You will be on the trails both mornings and we will be featuring a local cheese and wine tasting on the mountain side on one of the days, aswell as a post run yoga class which will will be tailored for trail runners and suitable for all levels. We will use uplift to get access to some breathtaking trails above the nearby village of Les Contamines. Our experienced trail running guides will be offering trail running techniques to enable you to run more confidently in this alpine environment. On the Friday evening the group meets for dinner with the Run the Wild Team at the hotel. 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! A deposit of £250 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. Full price is £720.
