Doug MayerRun the Alps' Trail Running Chamonix-Mont Blanc: 30 Must-Do Trail Runs

We are going to Chamonix next month and wanted a guide to some trail running routes in the area. This book is the best I've bought and is really well laid out, with clear route descriptions and tips of places to stop off for refreshments en route. There is even a QR code to download a GPX file for each run in the book (I've just downloaded two) If you are new to the Chamonix valley and are looking to get a walking / trail running book, I would highly recommend this one.

There are so many trails around Chamonix and Mont Blanc, it can be overwhelming. I like how this guide gives the favorites from the people who live and run there. It’s broken out first by region and then by difficulty, so that was handy. There are nice little pro tips that only local folks would know.It's wonderful to see Mirna Valerio in a few of the photos in the book. It’s obvious that the authors went out of their way to include different body types in the book. I really appreciate that.
