Trail discovery and improvement courses, itineraries while enjoying the region’s most beautiful landscapes and refuges, this is what Emotion Alpine, a new player based in Chamonix, offers.
Pass on what he has learned. It’s a bit like the credo of Olivier Goujon, founder and manager ofEmotion Alpine, company positioned on training courses and trail stays. “When I started trail running after years of training on mountain bikes, I thought I had all the keys because I had the money and was used to the mountains,” says the specialist. A hasty and erroneous judgment that resulted in “many wounds” and “the abandonment of projects that were close to his heart”.
Subsequently, Olivier Goujon meets “the right people” who give him back the pleasure of running in the mountains. “With a suitable course, I will quickly gain experience, enjoyment and avoid disappointment. Today I want to pass on everything I learned because I know that sport and nature are the keys to deep well-being. says the manager.
In the form of an internship or roaming
Emotion Alpine declines its offer in two formulas, supervised each time by a professional: itineraries and internships in Chamonix.
The first formula is three days of immersion in the mountains to live an adventure and chain the elevations. A choice, in the spring the Tour of Lake Annecy on a course that follows very closely that of the Maxi-Race. Or in summer the Grand Tour of the Chamonix Valley to discover mythical spots but also wilder slopes of “the valley of the trail”.
The second formula is based on a three-day course in Chamonix to run in front of Mont Blanc. There is a course for beginners so that they learn good practices, avoid mistakes, injuries and keep the fun going. And also an internship for the most seasoned runners. Here, workshops are offered on topics such as equipment, footing, muscle strengthening as well as a conference-exchange with a micro-nutritionist.
THE three days of roaming are offered at the price of 450 eurosincluding accommodation, and courses from 215 euros without accommodation. Emotion Alpine also offers tailor-made support and organization services for professionals and practitioners.
