Running the Quieter Trails of the Swiss Alps
With a full week to dedicate and a wish to experience the less crowded areas of the Alps in the warmer months, the alpine running festival offers a fantastic opportunity. Events include a sprint to an extraordinary ultra-marathon along some of Switzerland's most scenic Alpine paths.

Sustenance came in the form of strong local dish served by eager aid station volunteers. The race finishes at the shore on the eastern shores of a vast lake for a invigorating swim.

Maybe the unique international marathon in the world that starts in one part of the world and concludes in another, the transcontinental run is a unforgettable adventure.

The start is particularly breathtaking, with thousands of participants moving west across the grand Bosphorus Bridge as the strait flows below.

Climbing Africa's Roof the Best Way
The ascent up the dormant volcano via the Lemosho route leads adventurers through green jungles, open moorland, and stark high-altitude zones. Wildlife such as colobus monkeys, buck, and colourful birds can often be spotted.
