Alcino Serras from A2Z Adventures & Haglöfs Trail team achieve the first victory of the season at the Almonda Trail last 11th July. This victory (together with the previous ones at Ultra Trail Serra da Freita 2009 and 2010) added an extra motivation to participate this year at the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc on August 27th.

The Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc is one of the most important Ultra Trail races in the world with, 166 km and 9500 meters of positive altitude change. A real challenge with 2300 runners from all over the world.

If you would like to follow the same steps of these mountain warriors, but with time to enjoy all of what the alps have to offer, you can join A2Z Adventures trek Alps, Tour of Mont Blanc from 15 to 22 August. A full week of amazing treks visiting 3 countries around the highest mountain of Western Europe.

Our guides Pedro Carvalho, Joana Seco, and Nuno Santos are back from another bike tour in Portugal. They were away guiding our Historical Villages, the Jewish Route road bike tour. It was a fun week, in the Alto Alentejo and Beira Baixa regions, with great riding, gorgeous weather and very cool guests!

They got to visit some very interesting sites related to the Jewish presence in Portugal - the synagogues in Tomar, Castelo de Vide, and Belmonte, were some of the highlights of this trip - and also indulge in great Portuguese food and wines!
