Are you wondering if you’re fit enough to be ready for an Everesting in June? Our answer: Yes! You can do it! As long as you’re already exercising regularly and staying active, you can even complete an Everesting with just a few weeks of preparation. The biggest challenge is in your head, not so much in your legs. Find out HEREto find out what kind of basic fitness is helpful and how we prepared for our own Everesting.

We strongly recommend that you purchase insurance that will reimburse your registration fee if you are unable to attend the event due to illness or injury.
We’ve spoken with various providers and recommend ERGO’s ticket insurance or travel cancellation insurance. The travel cancellation insurance has the added benefit that you can even include the costs of travel and accommodations in your coverage.
The insurance is available to anyone residing in the EU.
If you have any questions about the insurance, you can contact Mike Zander at ERGO at any time: mike.zander@ergo.de

While the ultimate goal of ALPIN8 is the summit of Mount Everest, no matter how far you get—it will always be a great achievement! We’re certain of one thing: No matter how many meters of elevation gain you cover, it will definitely be more than you’ve ever managed in a single day. And that’s exactly what it’s all about—pushing past your perceived limits and unlocking your potential. You’re capable of so much more than you think!

The Brand Mountain Rescue team will be on site with two teams and will be there to help if you need it.

If you find yourself unable to continue on the mountain, you can call us and we’ll send help. That’s why it’s important to make sure your cell phone always has enough battery power.

Although you’re in the mountains, you’re always relatively close to civilization. The course itself is only about 3 km long, and there will always be other participants or members of the event team nearby who can help you in an emergency.

Sure, bring along anyone who wants to cheer you on! Seeing your family or friends along the way can bring out hidden reserves of strength!

The area around Brand is beautiful and offers plenty of opportunities to stay a few days longer and turn your participation in ALPIN8 Everesting into a vacation. Find out more HEREto find out how you can best spend the days surrounding the event with your friends or family.

Sure! If you know you want specific snacks or gels, be sure to bring them with you.

We provide snacks such as fresh fruit, granola, energy bars, sweet and savory open-faced sandwiches, nuts, and dried fruit, as well as drinks. We also provide you with one hot meal a day.

If you need anything else, be sure to pack it in your bag for the bag drop.

Yes, we’ll send you a packing list well in advance of the event. Generally speaking, you don’t need any special gear for ALPIN8 Everesting—comfortable shoes and clothing are the most important things. We’ll still send you a packing list with other important items like a headlamp or hiking poles—that way, you’ll be fully prepared and have everything you need.

There are many hotels, guesthouses, and vacation rentals – including fantastic spa areas for relaxation. Simply book your (and your family’s) accommodations there for the duration of the event. If you’re traveling in a camper, there’s a Campground.

(Overnight stays are not included in the ticket price.)

The event venue in Brand (Vorarlberg, Austria) is accessible by both car and public transportation.

If you’re coming by car, the easiest way to get here is via the A14 to Bludenz. From there, head up into the Brandnertal valley. Brand and our event location at the Palüdbahn are located at the very end of the valley.

Would you like to travel by public transportation? That’s easy, too. Take a train to Bludenz. From there, you can take bus 580, which runs about every two hours, to “Brand, Palüdbahn.” The bus ride takes 29 minutes.
