Trail running around Chamonix

Chamonix has become a mecca for trail runners and offer hundreds of kilometres of truly world-class trails. What makes it so good is the combination of varied terrain, stunning vistas and as much or as little height gain as one might want! An extensive network of cable cars and chairlifts mean that if desired, there is the option to skip long climbs (or long descents!) and maximise time on the panoramic trails which traverse the mountainsides high above the valley bottom. And then of course there is the town itself, a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, it’s streets crammed with cafes, restaurants and gear shops and Mont Blanc sitting resplendent above it all.
