Tour du Mont Blanc Running Vacation by Runcation Travel

Description:

Our Tour du Mont Blanc Trail Running Vacation (Offered June 30-July 8, 2024) takes you on an adventure run around the highest mountain in the Alps, the Mont Blanc massif. Join us on our Chamonix TMB Runcation as we trail run the iconic long distance route, staying at comfortable hotels and chalets throughout.

Our 9-day “Runcation” will kick off in one of the top trail running destinations in the world, the Chamonix Valley, before setting off on our trail. The route wraps 170 km around the massive Mont Blanc massif, climbing and descending a total of 10,000 feet through 3 countries and more breathtaking views than you can count. As we traverse the mountain we’ll spend the 7 nights in charming and comfortable hotels in towns, and one night at a scenic mountain refuge, which will offer a comfortable place to spend the evening with breathtaking locations and a delicious sampling of Italian, Swiss, and French cuisine, wine, and coffee throughout the trip.

This retreat adventure is open to ages 15 and up of any pace. Must be able to complete 110 miles of hiking/running, including dramatic elevation gain and loss over the course of the trip with one rest day included. Shorter options are available on several of the days (contact the tour organizer). Optional 12-week training package available from an experienced running coach to ensure you’re trained and ready to go for this adventure of a lifetime!
