Everest in the Alps is the ultimate winter sports endurance challenge. It’s an ambitious claim, but we are ambitious; we have to be.

It’s a gruelling event taking place in Verbier in the Swiss Alps; which involves approximately 32 hours of uphill ski touring and only 3 hours of downhill, with up to a total of 20 individual ascents. Each day the teams climb between 2,000m – 2,500m to reach the overall target of 8,848m.

At altitudes of up to 3,500m, each Everest in the Alps challenger will burn through a daily average
