Treat yourself to an immersive trail experience with traileur Jean-Philippe Tschumi: perfect your technique on the trails and enjoy an evening dedicated to trail running, all in a magnificent natural setting at Morgins in the Dents du Midi region!
In this grandiose Valais setting, under the majestic gaze of the Dents du Midi, experience an exceptional trail weekend designed for experienced runners looking to progress and surpass themselves. From Friday to Sunday, you’ll be part of a select group of no more than 12 participants. This course is aimed at runners capable of covering 15 km on a regular basis, and wishing to perfect their technique, optimize their effort management and refine their running strategy in mountainous terrain.
After arriving at the Hôtel Helvetia in Morgins on Friday at 3.00 pm, you’ll set off on a warm-up outing, ideal for getting to know the terrain and creating an initial team dynamic. On the way back, you’ll recuperate at the spa, followed by an authentic meal adapted to the needs of traileurs. You’ll then prepare for the next day’s race, before spending a restful night in your hotel room.
On Saturday, after an energizing breakfast, you’ll set off on a route of around 25 km and 1800 m D+. A full day in the mountains to work on distance, effort management and climbing and descending technique. Back at the hotel: snack, relaxation at the spa and optional 30-minute massage or e-bike tour to optimize recovery. You’ll then enjoy a well-deserved hearty meal before continuing with an evening dedicated to trail running: specific nutrition, injury prevention, equipment strategy and feedback.
On Sunday, a 20 km, 1500 m D+ outing will take you to an alpine restaurant to enjoy the flavours of the mountains. The return trip to Morgins completes the day, before the course closes in mid-afternoon.
