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 14,000 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.
