At the Eiger Grand Prix, you and your team will build your own race car using materials and tools. Creativity and skill are essential before heading to the track after a safety check. Points are awarded for distance, driving technique, design, and team flag. An experience that combines planning, fun, and competition.

Itinerary

Meeting points
Meeting Point

We will pick you up at an agreed meeting point and make our way on foot or via a short transfer to the prepared site. There, the race track and the workshop for building your vehicles await you.

Introduction
15 mins

The guides explain the process, divide you into teams, and explain the rules. Then you receive the soapbox framework, materials, and tools.

Building the Race Car
1 - 2 hrs

In teams, you plan, build, and design your race car. Creativity, teamwork, and skill are required. Meanwhile, your own team flag is created. In the "shop," you can purchase additional materials and get help from a professional in the workshop.

Safety Check & Race
30 - 45 mins

Before hitting the track, each vehicle must pass the safety check. Then comes the race: points are awarded for distance, driving technique, and creativity.

Evaluation & Award Ceremony
30 mins - 1 hr

The results are compiled. Afterwards, an award ceremony adds excitement and shared laughter. On request, we can organise a suitable aperitif to go with it.

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.

Activity-specific weather info

Our events can be affected by weather conditions; however, it is difficult to predict exactly how an event will be impacted until closer to the event day. We monitor conditions carefully to ensure all activities remain within our safety limits, and bad weather does not necessarily mean a cancellation.

If we are unable to run an event as planned, we will do our best to adjust the program to offer a similar experience or to find an alternative date. If neither option is possible, we will provide a full refund.
