The tour may take place in various high-alpine regions of Switzerland, including the Bernese Alps, Valais Alps or Uri Alps.

The following equipment will be provided to both participants as part of the prize package:

• Guide Backpack
• Astro Pro Sleeping bag
• First Aid Kit
  

The prize package further includes meals during the tour.

Travel to and from the meeting point, personal equipment not explicitly listed above, insurance, and any other personal expenses are not included and remain the sole responsibility of the participants. 

The winner will be notified by email within two weeks after the application deadline. If the winner does not respond within the timeframe specified by the Organizer, the Organizer reserves the right to select an alternative winner. 

Participation is personal and non-transferable. Participation rights and included products cannot be exchanged, transferred to another person, or redeemed for cash.

The Organizer reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the itinerary, route, schedule or included services if necessary due to weather, safety considerations, organizational requirements or circumstances beyond its control.
