The Via Valais is the running version of what skiers and hikers have long had, a Haute Route. But, this tour is designed by runners, for runners. The route moves beneath numerous 4000-meter peaks, alongside glaciers, and over high, alpine passes. It’s the trail runner’s dream tour.

This is a lovely two night three day hut tour (Pantalon Blanc - not catered but worth it for the views with sunset over Mont Blanc) down to Cabane Dix, a classic before a final day around the Pigne d'Arolla and down to Arolla.
