High Country Trail Shoe
Chamonix becomes the center of the trail running world in late August, and rabbit is bringing the community together across two destinations. Join us at the rabbit Clubhouse at Hotel Le Faucigny for shakeout runs, community events, educational panels, and daily activations, or stop by our Vendor Village Chalet to shop our exclusive Chamonix collection. Both locations will be stocked with the latest rabbit apparel all week long. Our hotel guests will receive a welcome bag featuring products from our partners Tailwind Nutrition, Squirrel’s Nut Butter, Bear Butt Wipes, and Hydrapak. We’re excited to be joined throughout the week by various guests, including Chamonix-based professional trail runner Natalia Mastrota. Come connect with them and the rabbit crew in Chamonix.
