Volunteer to help at the Eiger Ultra Trail

A successful Eiger Ultra Trail event relies heavily on the help of volunteers. Volunteers have the unique opportunity to actively participate in this international event, to see the race up close as it unfolds, and be on-hand for support when 4000 competitors from 80 nations attempt to conquer the 101km, 250km, 51km, 35km, 16km or Trail Surprise at the foot of the Eiger.

free gondola or cable car ride to the competition courses
Refreshments during volunteer service (lunchbag, hot meals from Friday)
Free accommodation in the youth hostel (shared room) if volunteering for several days and if the assignment cannot be reached in time by public transport.
Personal expenses of CHF 30.00 per Person, or CHF 60.00 from 3 day’s service
