It’s time to hit the Jungfrau region the 21st and 22nd of August to cheer for the participants of the Inferno triathlon. The maximum number of participant (250) has already been reached, but it’s infernal enough that most people, even confirmed athletes, not to dare taking part to the event.

Here are some numbers about the 4 disciplines of the triathlon (sic), to make you feel better not to participate:
