The “Challenge Ski” is the flagship competition of GAC. We offer you the opportunity to compete against the best international student skiers on key races of the World Cup. To participate, you must form a team of 5 people. At the end of each race, points are awarded and contribute to the final ranking.

The tracks are designed by the Sports Club of the station to ensure high-quality races. For the 24th edition of the GEM Altigliss Challenge, the Ski Challenge is working with Rossignol, KPMG, and Fusalp for the event organization. Make sure to visit their booths throughout the week!
