austrian mountain badge?

[Trenk]

Hello, I heard about competition in Austria, coducted by army. If you finish that, you are awarded austrian mountain badge, edelweiss. It can be attended even by foreign teams. Is here any link to site about that? I googled it but did not find it, thanks...

The competition you probably mean is called the Edelweiss-Raid. International teams can compete however I don't know anything of a mountain badge though there are some units which have the Edelweiss on their badges.

If you know German here is the official website of the last Edelweiss Raid: http://www.bmlv.gv.at/archiv/a2007/edelweiss_raid/index.shtml
There are some pictures too: http://www.bmlv.gv.at/archiv/a2007/edelweiss_raid/galerie_uebersicht.php
