BRIEFING – FOOTING TRAIL
After settling in at the hotel and a full presentation of the week's activities, we set off for a short loop of a few kilometers in the forest around the center of Les Gets. A useful jog to loosen up your legs after the travel and check the level of the group. Overnight at the hotel.
Distance: 8km / Elevation: +350 m; -350 m
Briefing for the week: we'd like to stress that each day can be adapted to suit the level of the two groups 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 can be varied by approximately -5km and -500m.
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.
At the end of the day, Marion will help you recuperate with a gentle 45-minute yoga session.
Distance: 20km / Elevation: +/-1350 m
LAKES 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. At the end of the day, Marion will help you recover with a gentle 45-minute yoga session.
Distance: 25km / Elevation: +/-2000 m
MOUNT CHERY – ASCENT WORK IN THE MORNING – YOGA IN THE AFTERNOON
Departing from the hotel, an uphill session on the slopes of Mont Chéry. After a gentle warm-up and a few intense workouts to wake you up, you're off for a short, dynamic workout on the slopes. The afternoon is dedicated to recovery, thanks in particular to the hotel's SPA area.
In the afternoon, Marion offers an energizing 1-hour yoga session adapted to trail running.
Distance: 10 to 15km / Elevation: +/-650 to +/-1000 m
DENT D'OCHE OBJECTIVE!
After a 40min transfer, one of the most charismatic spot on today's agenda: the Dent D'Oche (2221m). Stunning trails, sometimes technical, between alpine pastures and limestone rock, matchless viewpoints over Lake Geneva and the mountains, are great motivations for completing this challenging day. Depending on terrain and weather conditions, an ascent of the Dent d'Oche is also possible. Before your meal, Marion will help you recover with a 30-minute gentle yoga session.
Distance 25km / Elevation: +/-2350 m
TOUR OF THE ROC D’ENFER
Short transfer to the "Col de l'Encrenaz" (25min) for a final wild loop around the impressive "Roc d'Enfer" massif. A series of small passes are on the program: Col de la Basse, Col Ratti, Col de Foron... The last major effort of the week is the ascent of Pointe de Chalune (2116m). It offers a 360° panorama of Lake Geneva, the Jura mountains and the Alps. For the more motivated ones, it's possible to run back to the hotel via Mont Chéry.
Distance: 20 km / Elevation: +/-1550 m
