RUNNING & YOGA
Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc, providing a stunning backdrop to our Running & Yoga weekend. As featured in the Telegraph’s Best Running Holidays this is a perfect adventure for any yogi runner looking to discover mountain trails! This weekend caters for those who are new to alpine running or new to yoga, and those with more experience.
The trails wind through pine woods, up to balcony paths, with breath taking views over Mont Blanc. We pick some stunning routes of 13-15km each day which show the valley at its very best. Along the way, we teach techniques to help increase your confidence over this terrain. Our experienced guides bring the wild to life, with information about the local history, flora, fauna and geography. Each day features a checkpoint with local and seasonal produce. One day includes our famous cheese and wine tasting!
Following each run, you will be guided through a yoga class, suitable for all levels including beginners. Aimed to support your running, the restorative sessions will release any muscle tension accumulated during the morning on the hills, as well as working on flexibility and strength.
This activity break focusses on both running, and relaxation. Each run lasts around 3 hours and each yoga session around 50 minutes. This leaves you plenty of time to relax and explore Chamonix or take a trip up to the Aiguille du Midi. You will be staying in a 4* spa hotel with access to a pool, sauna and jacuzzi so you can unwind and enjoy the views.
On the Friday evening the group meets for dinner with the Run the Wild Team. 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 £150 is taken at the time of sign-up with the balance taken 6 weeks before the trip is due to start. Let us know if you prefer to schedule payments following your deposit.
