Despite his outstanding successes and world championship medals — bronze in the Vertical race and silver in the team event — the ultimate goal of the athlete from Martigny remains deeply rooted in his native Valais: the legendary Patrouille des Glaciers (PdG). In 2026, Aurélien Gay will once again take on this iconic challenge, with ambition and determination: « I haven’t finished writing my story with the PdG yet — one day, I will win it. »
