Fast and Light is an independent alpine sports publication based in Switzerland. We cover the fast-changing world of mountain sport and culture — from trail running, cycling, climbing and ski touring to environmental change and gear innovation.
Born from a passion for lightweight, human-powered mountain adventures, we are grounded in real experience and dedicated to honest, field-tested journalism. Our content is original, multilingual, and designed to inspire, inform, and connect.
Fast and Light is an independent alpine sports publication based in Switzerland and the Chamonix Valley. We’re built on one simple idea: that lightweight, human-powered adventures in the mountains deserve honest, field-tested storytelling.
We cover a spectrum of sports and cultures that move fast and travel light: from trail running and gravel riding to ski touring, mountaineering, hike & fly, and the changing alpine environment that surrounds them all. Our team brings decades of experience in the outdoor and media world. We’ve climbed, raced, photographed, published, and lived the fast-and-light ethos since before it was a hashtag.
We are not influencers. We are independent. Every article is grounded in real experience. Every review is honest. Every environmental feature is written to inform, not to perform.
Fast and Light is multilingual, starting in English with selected content in French and German. We’re working toward a platform that speaks to the entire Alpine region — and speaks up about what’s changing in it.
