Description

The Les Vosges mountains are a far reaching, but low ceiling mountain range in France, near the German border. They are the perfect place for trail running because they are full of long, twisting trails, open spaces, and beautiful natural landscape. And on this exciting weekend, that is exactly what you will have the chance to experience.

This exciting weekend could be viewed a number of ways. It could be seen as a means to explore and admire a beautiful area in eastern France. It could be seen as a means to gain an incredible amount of physical exercise in a short period of time. Or it could be seen as a means to accomplish both of those things. However, whichever way you view it, this weekend trip will absolutely take your breath away.

Each day, we will be running for approximately 4 to 5 hours, covering approximately 25 kilometres. We will be making our way through ridges and climbing summits like the Col du Falimont (1,290m), and we will be running through technical trails and forests. We will also be passing several beautiful sights as well, including the Hohneck (1,363m). This peak is the third highest in the entire Les Vosges mountains. You will even get to enjoy an unforgettable sunset once we reach the mountain refuge at the end of the first day!

Participants in this trip do not necessarily have to be trail running experts. However they should be in good physical condition. And they should also be able to run at least 20 kilometres per day.

So if you are looking for an exciting weekend of trail running in France, just send me a request, and let me guide you through the Les Vosges mountains.

I can also lead you on a similar weekend of trail running in Mullerthal, Luxembourg.

Mountain Leader

Passionate about trail running, the outdoors and everything that nature provides to us, I got certified as a mountain leader by the Club Alpin Belge. I also work as a school teacher and devote my free time to my artistic pursuits.

Maps are another of my big passions. I collect them and spend hours looking at them and searching for the best itineraries in the Alps, the Andes, the Carpathians...and then I take you to explore them, running or walking.

My mission is to share with you the happiness that a high altitude lake can provide, the comfort that one can find in a rustic mountain hut and the excitement of walking along a mountain ridge. Looking forward to meeting you!

What people are saying about Thibault

Valeria

First of all our guide was not Thibault as communicated initially but Nathalie. Already when in contact with Thibault communication wasn't smooth, he only replied via the platform days after the message with very short info. I had asked several times more details about the activity but I never got them...the day before I got a message from Nathalie just giving practical tips about clothes, meteo etc I was told that we would have had orienteering challenges in teams but on the day the guide was sending instructions to get to a point via smartphone (only to me) which was quite useless because I was the only one trying to find a way. On the other hand if she wanted to do something with smartphones she would have warned us in advance so that all colleagues would have had an active one and for exemple she could have sent the messages in a chat with everybody in. Anyway the best would have been to print out for us simple maps/instructions like the ones she had. All this should have been discussed and agreed with me/us in advance...otherwise it would have been far more interesting a simple walk with a guide that knows the history and characteristics of a place and that could tell us something (this was an offered option) interesting.

Pour ceux qu’un stage/week-end organisé de Trail tente, je ne pourrais que vous recommander Trek Atout. Superbe weekend passé dans les Hautes Fagnes... 3 sorties trail sur des tracés magnifiques, super encadrement et top ambiance... plus que vivement conseillé ! Merci Thibault

Des parcours magnifiques, un we bien rempli mais juste ce qu'il faut, un niveau adapté, une guide au top et un chouette logement ! En résumé, un we inoubliable.

J'ai participé à la journée rando-photos à Bouillon ce dimanche et j'ai adoré! C'était super interessant, le cours etait très bien donné, la prof nous a super bien coaché durant la rando et l'endroit était magnifique!! Vraiment a faire!! Je ferai sûrement d'autres cours chez vous pour me perfectionner maintenant!

Il y a juste deux petites semaines, j'ai participé à un weekend rando Trek Atout... Un superbe weekend ! Ok, la météo nous a fait un super cadeau : de la belle neige sur nos Fagnes! Mais tout de même, sans le "président" rien n'aurait été pareil ! Nous avons été accueillis comme des amis, Thibault nous a emmené sur des petits chemins et sentiers magnifiques, nous avons appris à jouer au whist, nous avons partagé l'apéro, Thibault nous a préparé une (demi)soupe sur un sol enneigé, nous avons échangé et beaucoup rigolé ! Je pourrais encore allonger la liste pour les non convaincus! ... Merci encore Trek Atout! (Depuis, je m'entraîne encore plus à la course à pied en espérant un jour faire un trail avec TrekAtout).
