Volunteers
In action for the Engadin Skimarathon
Volunteers are the heart of every event. Without them an event like the Engadin Skimarathon would not be possible in this size and quality.
How important the volunteers are, is also shown by the feedback from the participants after the race, with many thanks for the great work of the volunteers.
The appreciation for their support is huge. More than 1,000 volunteers contribute with their commitment, their good mood and friendly manner to the fact that more than 13,500 cross-country skiers reach their destination healthy and happy.
Do you want to become a volunteer?
Do you want to be a part of the largest Swiss cross-country event? New volunteers are welcome. Whether transporting the effects or serving at the various refreshments stands along the way - we will find a place for you.
We look forward to your online registration or a message by E-Mail or by phone on +41 81 851 60 60.
Volunteers Jackets
Conditions for the jacket reference
The jacket has a value of CHF 410.00 and must therefore be handled and maintained with due care. The delivery of the jacket is subject to the following conditions:
- The volunteers have to wear the jacket on occasions of the Engadin Skimarathon.
- With the takeover of the jacket, the volunteers undertake to be available for at least three years in the next four events of the Engadin Skimarathon.
- If the minimum service time has not been reached in four years or if I am no longer available as a volunteer, the jacket will be returned cleaned after the last use of the Engadin Skimarathon.
- If the jacket is not returned on time, the volunteers are ready to buy the jacket for CHF 120.00.
Marathon-Party
The Engadin Skimarathon and the ski club Zuoz invite all volunteers to the Marathon-Party in S-chanf after finishing work. At the cash desk in the big hall you will receive a voucher worth CHF 15.00, which will allow you to get something to drink and eat. As identification the volunteers jacket is valid.
