“That was the best trail I’ve ever run!” We each made that claim more than a few times during the five months in 2017 we spent running for our trail running guidebook, Run the Alps Switzerland.

Le Cervin, un défi qui m’a fait reconnecter avec l’essentiel et me réconcilier avec la partique régulière du sport.
