Patrouille des Glaciers
The incredible distance covered and huge altitude differences along the route make this mountain race truly amazing. The three-person teams start in either Zermatt or Arolla (shorter route). Extensive mountaineering experience is a must and participants must be physically, mentally and technically prepared for the competition. It is also essential that team members work as a unit as well as support the other participants during the race. Friendship, caution, recognising one’s own limits and respecting the mountains and nature are all part of the Patrouille des Glaciers.
