Chamonix Chalet news

We’ll be running the Mont Blanc Cross this year - 21 km of uphill - from Chamonix to Argentiere and then on to Brevent.

It’s worth going for a walk along the course though, as there’s generally a good atmosphere, drinks and barbecues and so on.

The marathon runners take a long and amazingly scenic route around the Chamonix valley:

Should be a great day - we’re training hard!
