This is your chance to be part of the action during the Mountain Bike World Championships. It's the first time so many disciplines will be hosted in the same region, making it a golden opportunity for those interested in multiple disciplines. Volunteering is also a great way to meet amazing people with a shared goal and learn new skills along the way.
If you’re over 16 years old, motivated, and available during the event dates, we’d love to welcome you to the Valais 2025 volunteer team. For some roles, specific skills might be required, such as good physical fitness for track-side positions in Champéry or Aletsch.
You can register directly on our partner platform EHRO via this link. Find out all the information you need to know about volunteering on the dedicated page on our website.
While we prioritize volunteers who can help across multiple days and locations, it’s also possible to volunteer for just a few days at a single destination. Volunteers who contribute more days will have access to exclusive additional benefits.
