OUR AMBASSADOR FINN MURPHY JOINS 
THE ALPINE QUEST 2 PROJECT

Alpine Quest 2 is a 1,500 km cycling expedition across four Alpine countries, to document the changes affecting glaciers, biodiversity, water and communities in the face of climate change. And this year, young athletes like Finn where invited to experience the expedition from the inside.

Finn and his friend Everest spent an unforgettable week with the Alpine Quest 2 team, cycling and hiking across the French and Swiss Alps.

Setting off from Megève, they cycled to Chamonix, where they hiked onto the famous Mer de Glace, France’s largest glacier.

Back on their bikes, they climbed up to Trient and swapped their bikes for boots. They hiked to the Cabane du Trient, perched at 3,170 m above the glacier.

From there they trekked across the Glacier d’Orny, then descended to the lakeside village of Champex-Lac (1,466 m).

The final leg took them by bike down the Rhône valley and up to Fiesch, gateway to the mighty Aletsch Glacier — at over 20 km, the largest glacier in the Alps — where they finished their journey with one last hike on the ice.

The young participants had the opportunity to engage directly with the expedition’s scientists, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the alpine environment they were exploring. They took part in water sampling on glaciers, carried out measurements of Swiss stone pine trees, and witnessed rockfalls triggered by the thawing of permafrost.

Your support helps them fund the documentary that will be featured globally and the educational programs that brings this real-world climate science back to schools, helping young people everywhere understand how our world is changing and what we can do about it. Every contribution helps get this crucial message out there.

100% of your support will help drive critical research into how the changing Alps will fundamentally reshape our daily lives, translating that science into stories that grab the attention of kids and push our generation to step up as responsible stewards of the mountains.
