Daniel wanted to do some specific race
training in the mountains so we caught the train to Les Diablerets. We changed
train at Aigle onto a tiny two-carriage train which chugged its way through the
vineyards and forests and up the mountain. It was a spectacularly scenic train
route and we saw a chamois on the way!
Les Diablerets is very similar to the
villages in the Saas Valley but it is French-speaking. Although it is busier in
winter, there were a fair number of people out and about running, biking and
even paragliding. And we got to hear another alphorn performance which was fun
:)
Daniel ran for 55km in the mountains
completing 3,500m of altitude gain. It was a great experience for him to train
on the trails and live the dream of running in the Swiss Alps.
