Description

The Les Vosges mountains are a far reaching, but low ceiling mountain range in France, near the German border. They are the perfect place for trail running because they are full of long, twisting trails, open spaces, and beautiful natural landscape. And on this exciting weekend, that is exactly what you will have the chance to experience.

This exciting weekend could be viewed a number of ways. It could be seen as a means to explore and admire a beautiful area in eastern France. It could be seen as a means to gain an incredible amount of physical exercise in a short period of time. Or it could be seen as a means to accomplish both of those things. However, whichever way you view it, this weekend trip will absolutely take your breath away.

Each day, we will be running for approximately 4 to 5 hours, covering approximately 25 kilometres. We will be making our way through ridges and climbing summits like the Col du Falimont (1,290m), and we will be running through technical trails and forests. We will also be passing several beautiful sights as well, including the Hohneck (1,363m). This peak is the third highest in the entire Les Vosges mountains. You will even get to enjoy an unforgettable sunset once we reach the mountain refuge at the end of the first day!

Participants in this trip do not necessarily have to be trail running experts. However they should be in good physical condition. And they should also be able to run at least 20 kilometres per day.

So if you are looking for an exciting weekend of trail running in France, just send me a request, and let me guide you through the Les Vosges mountains.

I can also lead you on a similar weekend of trail running in Mullerthal, Luxembourg.

Mountain Leader

Passionate about trail running, the outdoors and everything that nature provides to us, I got certified as a mountain leader by the Club Alpin Belge. I also work as a school teacher and devote my free time to my artistic pursuits.

Maps are another of my big passions. I collect them and spend hours looking at them and searching for the best itineraries in the Alps, the Andes, the Carpathians...and then I take you to explore them, running or walking.

My mission is to share with you the happiness that a high altitude lake can provide, the comfort that one can find in a rustic mountain hut and the excitement of walking along a mountain ridge. Looking forward to meeting you!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
