SUMMER FUN EXPLORING IN THE ALPS
The Bernese Oberland explorer trip

At Tracks and Trails we absolutely love exploring new places and then sharing them, and this summer we've being doing just that. In fact that's how 'T&T' began!

Lindsay's been to the French Pyrenees with our keen 'recce' team to hike the glorious and less frequented 'GR10' and we now have a superb 7-day
Trans Pyrenees highlights trip for 2020.

We've had two groups hike our new Trans Tyrol Trek which starts in the Bavarian Alps, Germany and explores limestone gorges, crosses high passes, visits castles, remote mountain cabins and valleys to finish in Innsbruck, Austria.

Julia's all fired up from exploring trails 'fast-packing' across the Swiss Bernese Oberland. She's put together two new point-to-point itineraries that take in the panoramic Eiger and Jungfrau trails for walkers and trail runners alike. Starting from Interlaken the routes visit the Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen valleys then cross high passes to reach the Kandersteg valley. Details of these two summer 2020 trips will be in our next newsletter.

We've also met many of you on successful trips along some of our favourites alpine classics including; family tours of Mont Blanc, hiking the Haute Route to Zermatt, trekking around the Monte Rosa, across the Gran Paradiso National Park and on our Chamonix classic trails...to name just a few!

We are very proud to report the Mont Blanc marathon success of one of Tracks and Trails' avid trail runners, Julianne Cirenza. Julianne started her trail running journey with us in 2016 and in just 3 years she has run from strength to strength.

"Little did I know that I would quickly fall in love with trail running during that week that I would be back in Chamonix running the 42km Mont Blanc Marathon."
Well done Julianne!
