A friendly XC competition

touch and go XC Challenge
"Urmiberg / Froni Edition"

Total prize money: CHF 1000

Our local mountains, the Urmiberg and Fronalpstock, are not exactly known as a typical starting point for cross-country flights – and certainly not an easy choice. This is exactly what makes the challenge so exciting: we want to see what is possible!
