Highlights

I will guide you through 5 massifs during 6 days: Mont Blanc, Beaufortain, Aravis, Bauges and Fiz. It will be a time to address all aspects of trail running (training, nutrition, mental preparation, running technique, equipment management…).

During your stay, you will stay in a charming hotel in a small village perched in the mountains. You’ll find yourself in the ideal conditions to train but also to escape everyday life.

We will have picnics for lunch, and warm dinners at the hotel. We will enjoy a day off to visit Chamonix or Megève. Or, why not, to savour the local products in a secret location.

The course will take place at Crest Voland, in Savoie. I will set the date according to demand.

Does this trail running course sound interesting? Then please get in touch with me for this personalized program! I would be glad to take you to these mountain trails that I know so well. I will share my passion for these large sumptuous spaces. If you can only take a shorter trip, I will of course adapt the program to your availability.

And if you want to try trail running for the first time, I recommend you check out this Trail running for beginners in the Beaufortain.

What People are Saying about Caroline Freslon

Great experience, but definitely favored toward elite runners. One of our guides, JC, was amazing. He cared about every runner. The other guide seemed only to care for the elites (and himself). On top of Col des Montets, I asked if we had time to put on warm layers. The guide said \"of course,\" but then quickly proceeded to run off with the entire group while I stood bare and freezing with my gear unpacked. Total lack of consideration for the well-being of his runners. Otherwise a great tour.

Pour moi le trail c\'est avant tout la découverte de nouveaux territoires, les rencontres et les échanges avec d\'autres passionnés, le respect de la nature. Mes 3 stages avec Caroline m\'ont permis de retrouver ces fondamentaux dans un cadre toujours bon enfant, mais pas moins professionnel. Caroline est une passionnée de montagne et de tout ce qui y touche (sport, culture, gastronomie) et elle sait comme personne transmettre sa passion et ses bons conseils, toujours avec le sourire. Je garde un excellent souvenir des rencontres avec les autres stagiaires et mais aussi avec les autres encadrants, Guillaume, Seb, Cédric, Lydie et tant d\'autres rencontrés au cours de ces stages.

J\'ai fait deux stages avec Caro, c\'est devenu une amie, et chacun de ces stages m\'a laissé des souvenirs inoubliables. Le premier stage en 2014 en Haute Savoie à l\'occasion du Trail du Gypaète. Le Deuxième stage en 2015, dans les Calanques de Marseille. Ces stages auront été parfaits à tous les niveaux: Paysages grandioses (on sent qu\'ils ont été choisis avec soin), des échanges techniques avec des \"pros\" (un grand moment quand Caro inspecte les sacs à dos...), pleins de conseils nutrition - mode de vie etc... La découverte des autres stagiaires mais aussi des autres encadrants (très bon contact avec Guillaume Lenormand par ex.). Des conditions matérielles top (hébergement, repas, organisation etc...). Seule critique: le temps passe trop vite, c\'est toujours trop court! Donc au final quand c\'est fini, on n\'a qu\'une envie... c\'est de repartir pour un autre stage! Et vu le nombre de personnes que l\'on croise sur les stages qui en sont à leur n-ième participation, je peux affirmer que ce sentiment est partagé!
