Volunteer at 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 experience the race up close as it unfolds and to 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.

We offer our Volunteers:

• An unforgettable experience in a breathtaking mountain landscape
• An attractive Volunteer Shirt (male and female fit available)
• Free gondola or train ride from Grindelwald to the race courses
• Refreshments during volunteer service (lunchbag, hot meals from Friday)
• Free accommodation at youth hostel (shared room) if volunteering early morning or late evening 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 20h service
• Volunteer gift

If you are supporter of a competitor and volunteering for us you get a free transport ticket to the race courses.
We're happy to welcome volunteers from the age of 13 - 70. A good physical condition is necessary.
