4 Days of Skiing

During four days, challengers from ETH and EPFL compete on the slopes of a Swiss ski resort to get the annual trophy of Challenge.

In 2025, Challenge will gather 100 challengers (50 from ETH and 50 from EPFL), as well as 350 ex-challengers, staffs, organizers and professors from both schools.

After-Ski and Parties

Each day, a after-ski session is organised and a party with all the participants takes place in the ski resort. And of course, many surprises all along the event !
