On Trail Base Camp Chamonix 2023On Trail Base Camp Chamonix 2023

A three-time UTMB® winner and the only athlete yet to achieve the UTMB® Grand Slam, Xavier Thévenard truly is the master of Mont Blanc. For someone who spends so much time outside, it’s no surprise that Xavier has a love of the natural world. Which is why he will be taking part in our Climate Fresco workshop. Designed to help us all better understand the issues surrounding climate change, the workshop takes the form of a game – using collective knowledge to find individual and collective solutions to climate change.

Join Xavier for the Sustainability Clinic at the On Base Camp on Thursday 24/8, 2:30pm-5:00pm.

Salmon tataki, mango tartare / Vegetable gyozas /Gazpacho, mint, roasted marrow seeds / Mini bao bun, pan-fried shrimp dressed in spicy mayonnaise*

Join Greg for a cooking masterclass at the On Base Camp on Wednesday 30/8, 5:00pm-6:30pm.

Marion Delespierre is a doctor by profession and a trailblazing athlete by nature. She first discovered her passion for trail running while looking for an activity to help her unwind from long workdays at the hospital. Now, Marion has taken it from an after-work hobby all the way to professional sporting victory – placing first at the Maxi Race Annecy, Diagonale des Fous and most recently the Trail World Championships.

Marion will be joining us at the On Base Camp throughout the week.
