The course of the Pro-Route of the Eigertour 2020. // Source: Eigertour.rocks The participants of the Eigertour have to reach up to 20 mountain huts as turnpoints in a given order, either continuously or flying. All of this takes place in the high alpine terrain, which places high demands on running, flying and, above all, top-level technology. In front of each hut, the pilots have to take a selfie on which they can be seen, including their equipment and hut. The race runs until Saturday, July 11th. After the cancellation of the X-Pyr this year, it is the most demanding hike and fly event of the year. There are two ratings with different levels of difficulty: Pro and Challenge Race. The development of the race can be followed via live tracking (Pro | Challenge). In addition to X-Alps series winner Chrigel Maurer, who also won the first two editions of the Eiger tour, there are a number of other up-and-coming mountain flight athletes at the start. Anyone who is interested in what Chrigel carries as equipment in a race like the Eigertour can find out in the blog of the Eigertour.
