Our best trail running find in 2024 was a variation of the Tour des Combins. If you're looking for a four day run in the Alps that goes through Italy & Switzerland, stays high in huts, climbs an alpine peak, and has almost 100km of perfect singletrack, visit

New Run on alpsinsight.com : Becca de Sery - This one loops a small peak on the north side of the Grand Combin and gets you in tight with a big glacier landscape.

New Run: Alphubel - One of the Alps easier 4000 meter peaks makes for a great mountain run. It’s also the perfect training peak for glacier travel.

I have some stories from 25+ years working as a professional mountain sport photographer. But, nothing comes close to that time I shot an assignment undercover in North Korea.

Interested in trail running through the Himalaya? Summiting 5000+ meter peaks in running shoes and a vest? Seeing Everest up close and personal?
I'll be guiding a tour in the fall of 2025 full of running, photo tips, and fun - stay tuned for details.

My first post, and it's something I'm really proud of.

After five years, we knew we had to return to try and run Nepal's Three Passes in one day. It did not come easy.
