Ready for your ultimate ski challenge?

Skiing around the entire ski area in just one day is the ultimate on-piste experience, reserved for ambitious winter sports enthusiasts. With 32 lifts, 65 kilometres of pistes and a total vertical descent of 12,400 metres, The Challenge is one of the longest ski circuits in the entire Alpine region. It requires endurance and speed – athletic skiers complete the Skicircus circuit in approximately 6 to 7 hours. Best save mountain hut stops and sunny breaks for another ski day.

Terms and conditions for the contest apply

Winners will be notified in writing.

  • If you aim to complete the Trophy in 1 or 2 days, remember that you’ll be traveling between 3 ski areas, and for the transitions between areas, you may need to use public transport (bus or car). Keep this in mind, especially if you need to return to your starting point.
  • Make sure to allow plenty of time for returning to your starting point. Connecting lifts between and within the ski areas may have different operating hours, and there could be waiting times.

    You can start from any location within the ALPIN CARD network.

  • The 10 selected lifts are spread across the entire ALPIN CARD area, with routes connecting via blue and red slopes. Black slopes can be avoided.
  • Ski according to your ability and fitness level. Be sure to allow enough time to fully enjoy the ALPIN CARD Top 10 Trophy.
  • If your body calls for a break or a snack, take it! There are plenty of cozy huts and restaurants in the ski areas, inviting you to rest and refuel.
  • The challenge can only be completed when all cable cars are operational — this is especially important to consider during the pre- and post-season.

Once you have successfully completed the ALPIN CARD Top 10 Trophy, you will receive your gift instantly in digital form via the Skiline app.
From the 2025/26 winter season onwards, the only valid proof of completion will be to press the 'Receive your award' button in the Skiline app in front of the cashier.
