Making the most of a week-long stay at my parent’s home in
the Black Forest, I joined my brother in a short trip to run the Belfortrail,
taking place in early November in the Alsatian’ Vosges near Belfort, just a 2h drive away.
Belfortrail starts in the small town of Giromagny and makes a loop over the
Ballon D’Alsace and, infamously, up a 400m-of-climbing-in-1k ski slope called
Piste Schlumpf (translates to smurf).
