BRIEFING AND CHALUNE TOUR TRAIL
After settling in at the hotel and being shown around by your trail instructor, you'll set off on your first trail loop from Mont Caly (1489m).
The first part is gentle and allows you to get your bearings as far as the Foron mountain pasture. This is followed by the first ascent of the weekend, when your coach will be happy to show you how to use your poles properly. At 1904m the Col de Chalune is reached, and it's now downhill that the coach's advice is needed.
On your return to the hotel, you can take advantage of the wellness facilities to optimise your recovery. Distance: 20km / Elevation: +/-1050 m
Briefing for the week: we'd like to stress that each day can be adapted to suit the level of the group and that the main objective is to complete a series of outings to build up a constructive trail block for the rest of your season. The distances and gradients announced on the following days are indicative and maximum. Each day is flexible.
Day 2
LAKE MONTRIOND AND TAVANEUSE
Short transfer to Montriond Lake (20min). A more challenging day. After a few gentle kilometers along the lake and the river of Montriond, the tricky part begins and continues up to the charming Lake Tavaneuse, nestled in a small cirque at 1806 m altitude. Then, depending on weather conditions, there are several options: tour of 'Roc de Tavaneuse' or its ascent before returning to the starting point.
On your return to the hotel, you can take advantage of the wellness facilities to optimise your recovery. Distance: 25km / Elevation: +/-2000 m
Day 3
Before the breakfast, we offers an energizing 1-hour yoga session adapted to trail running (optional activity confirmed according to number of participants, €15/ person).
LES MINES D'OR – TETE DE BOSTAN
Short transfer to the "Vallée de la Manche" and the pretty "Lac des Mines d'Or" (25min). A first loop with relatively gentle terrain help everyone find their marks and get used to alpine trails. The "Tête de Bostan" (2406m) is the day's target, with its panoramic view over the Dents Blanches massif. From the "Col de Bostan" (on the Swiss border) to the refuge of the same name, the lapiaz (karstic rock formations on the surface) add a little extra technical difficulty. End of the stage via "Col de la Golèse" and Chardonnière. Distance: 20km / Elevation: +/-1350 m
Debriefing and end of the trail course in the afternoon at the hotel. The programme has been drawn up according to the latest information available at the time of writing; imponderables are always possible and situations beyond our control may alter the course.
