The Snowman Trek is one of the world’s most challenging fundraising expeditions – it takes place in the remote and breathtaking landscapes of Bhutan and is widely regarded as one of the toughest high-altitude treks on the planet.
The team successfully traversed more than 300km across the Bhutanese Himalayas, crossing 11 mountain passes – many above 5,000 metres – and navigating through isolated valleys, glacial lakes and ancient monasteries.
The trek demanded extraordinary physical and mental resilience, with unpredictable weather and extreme altitude adding to the challenge. Fewer than 300 people are said to have completed the extended version of the Snowman Trek, since its inception in 1987.
The individuals’ efforts and achievement will raise vital funds for Laureus Sport for Good, the global foundation that uses sport to transform the lives of young people.
Laureus 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.”
