These elements are enhanced by dense and colorful embroidery, highlighting blue, red, white, yellow, brown, and black threads. A white snowflake is embroidered in the center, adding a characteristic alpine touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the patch features an arch-shaped band, bordered in yellow, with the embroidered inscription \"2000M.
