In the face of the melting Aletsch glacier, Patagonia traders learned that extreme measures are by no means necessary to slow down the progression of climate change. The trail builders from Vast demonstrated how they work with the terrain to conserve resources instead of trying to overcome the laws of physics. For example, trail maintenance in the Aletsch Arena in Valais is carried out in harmony with nature and without the use of heavy machinery.

The trail network in the Aletsch Arena is shared by hikers and mountain bikers. The destination relies on the existing trails and only wants to have new trails created in the future in certain areas at most. In addition, the character of the mostly more challenging single trails should be preserved. The trail builders from Vast showed the Patagonia dealers, for example, how water can be drained from the trail without having to install the water channels that mountain bikers fear due to punctures. In addition, shortcuts were removed as a measure against erosion and selective optimizations were made to the lines.In keeping with Patagonia's commitment to combating environmental degradation, the participants learned how Patagonia's collaboration with the organization Protect our Winters (POW) works. In view of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Switzerland in the fall of 2023, POW has expanded its activities to include summer sports and is working with mountain biker Ludo May, for example. The direct consequences of climate change on the practice of mountain biking are addressed and what each individual can do about it is shown.
