Advanced trail running camp with Jean-Philippe Tschumi
Description
In this grandiose Valais setting, under the majestic gaze of the Dents du Midi, in the heart of Morgins, experience an exceptional trail weekend designed for experienced runners looking to progress and surpass themselves. A complete sporting immersion to push back your limits and refine every detail of your performance.
From Friday to Sunday, you'll be part of a privileged group of up to 12 participants. This course is designed for runners capable of covering 30 km on a regular basis, who want to perfect their technique, optimize their effort management and refine their race strategy in mountainous terrain.
After arriving at the Hôtel Suisse in Champéry at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, you'll set off on a warm-up outing, ideal for discovering the terrain and creating an initial team dynamic. On the way back: a snack at the hotel, relaxation at the Palladium swimming pool, followed by an authentic meal adapted to the needs of traileurs. You'll then plan 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 35 km and 2500 m D+. A full day in the mountains to work on distance, effort management and climbing and descending technique. Back at the hotel: snack and relaxation. Optional: relaxation at the Beau-Séjour spa and/or 50-minute massage 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 outing (1500 m D+) will take you to an alpine restaurant to enjoy the flavours of the mountains. The return trip to Champéry (around 10 km) completes the day, before the course closes in mid-afternoon.
