Laureus Sport for Good announced as Charity Partner for Snowman Trek in Bhutan
Laureus Sport for Good has been announced as the official charity partner of the Snowman Trek, one of the world’s most challenging fundraising expeditions, set to take place in the remote and breathtaking landscapes of Bhutan.
The Snowman Trek is widely regarded as one of the toughest high-altitude treks on the planet. Traversing more than 300km across the Bhutanese Himalayas, the route crosses 11 mountain passes – many above 5,000 metres – and takes participants through isolated valleys, glacial lakes and ancient monasteries. The trek demands extraordinary physical and mental resilience, with unpredictable weather and extreme altitude adding to the challenge.
This year, participants will take on the Snowman Trek not only for adventure, but to raise vital funds for Laureus Sport for Good, the global foundation that uses sport to transform the lives of young people. Laureus Sport for Good currently supports over 290 programmes in 36 countries, reaching more than 258,000 young people through sport-based initiatives that tackle violence, discrimination and inequality.

Laureus Academy Member Mike Horn, said: “Completing the Snowman Trek demands courage, unity, and relentless determination, qualities that are present in the programmes Laureus supports around the world. On behalf of the Laureus World Sports Academy, I’d like to thank each and every participant for their efforts to not only push their physical and mental limits in completing the Trek, but also raising vital funds to help Laureus Sport for Good break down barriers and prove what is possible through the power of sport. Wishing everyone the best ahead of this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Among the trekkers is Adriana Brownlee, the British mountaineer who, at just 24, has already climbed 13 of the world’s 14 highest peaks. The Snowman Trek is more than a physical challenge – it’s a symbol of the resilience and determination that sport can inspire. As participants push themselves to the limit, they will be helping Laureus push boundaries in communities around the world.
