Red Bull X-Alps 2025: How to watch and follow
Are you double-screening? Here's a list of go-to pages for the Red Bull X-Alps 2025
15 June, 2025, by Cross CountryThe Red Bull X-Alps has started and with it will come a blizzard of social media from the organisers and pilots alike. The route covers 1,283km over 12 days via 16 turnpoints and traces a figure-eight through the Alps, intersecting at St Moritz.
Cutting through the noise to find out what is happening can take too much time. Here’s our guide to following the action:
Redbullxalps.com
The official website. Includes info on the pilots, organisation, route and timings.
Live Tracking
The official race live tracking in 3D. This is good when it is working well and suits being viewed on a laptop or large screen. However, it can be frustrating to use when it gets overloaded or when viewed on a smartphone.
Instagram
On social media Instagram should be your first port of call – remember to check the stories
Facebook
Old but gold, the Facebook page is alive and kicking.
WhatsApp
New for this year, WhatsApp replaces the News Ticker of previous races. Curated by Jack Sheard.
YouTube Channel
Watch live-streams, day report clips and longer form videos. This year’s official race reporters (and Cross Country regulars) are Tarquin Cooper and Gavin McClurg. They will be broadcasting regular updates throughout the race, with Tarquin on the ground and Gavin in the air. Meanwhile, Joanna Di Grigoli will be providing live-tracking insight from the race HQ. Catch up with them for the end-of-day wrap-up at 9pm CET every day.
TikTok
Dance your way through the X-Alps with the Tik-Tokers.
Unofficial live tracking
PureTrack
PureTrack has collated all the live tracking feeds from every pilot and formed a dedicated X-Alps group. You can find unofficial live tracking here.
Relief Map
Relief Map allows you to toggle between 3D and 2D with an excellent usable base map that really allows you to see the pilots’ tracks. Especially good on the smartphone app.
XContest
XContest, the online cross country league has made a good attempt – it does not include all the pilots but gives good information when they are flying.
Burnair
Burnair.ch users will find everything they need to follow the race in the app. German language.
The pilots
Every pilot has their own social media person on their team, often two or three. The simplest way to see their content and follow their race is through Instagram – again, check the Stories. Here’s an alphabetical list of all the pilot Insta pages.
