Here is our official ALPIN8 packing list. See them as a suggestion that you can use as a guide. Ultimately, only you know what equipment you need for successful Everesting! Mandatory equipment is a cell phone/smartphone and a headlamp. Both must always be sufficiently charged.
There will be a bag depot in the Summit Camp where you can store a change of clothes and personal items. The bag depot is only accessible to participants and the ALPIN8 team.
Please make sure that your bag max. 30 liters is large, as light as possible and marked with your name on the outside. You will receive additional stickers with your race number in your starter bag.
Please do not leave any valuables in your bag. ALPIN8 accepts no liability.
There will be two refreshment stations at ALPIN8, which will be staffed 24/7. Here is a list of what to eat and where. If you want more food in addition to this offer or know that you need specific gels or bars, please bring them yourself.

a small overview of nice hotels that are only a few minutes’ drive from the event. Also
HERE
on the Brandertal Tourismus website you will find lots of suggestions for your overnight stay.
There is also the possibility to book from 04.07. – 06.07. to spend the night at the parking lot of the Palüdbahn, provided you have a camper or a car in which you can sleep. We emphasize that this is an absolute exception and is only permitted as part of the event with special permission from Bergbahnen Brandnertal.
There will be no opportunity to lie down and sleep peacefully on our event site. We do have sun loungers and benches to rest on at Summit Camp, but there are no proper sleeping facilities. So if you want to sleep during the 34 hours of Everesting, we recommend that you go to your accommodation. Or you can walk through the night and not sleep – that works too, of course 😉
