Jogging the Quieter Trails of the Swiss Alps
With a week to dedicate and a yearning to discover the more peaceful areas of the European mountains in the warmer months, the mountain race series is a perfect choice. Events range from a short run to an gruelling ultra-marathon along some of Switzerland's most runnable high-altitude routes.

Energy came in the form of hearty *raclette* served by friendly race supporters. The race ends at the shore on the eastern coast of a vast lake for a invigorating dip in the water.

The route then continues to a district and onwards to the shoreline path skirting the shores of the Bosphorus.

The finish line beckons, where delicious hot drink, small dishes, and ripe fruit served by supportive spectators await all runners.
