Events
Swiss Ice Challenge
The Swiss Ice Challenge is an annual event taking place in Laax, Switzerland. A group of over 100 people hikes up the hill in shorts from Crap Sion Gion to Crap Masegn. The event kicked off in 2019 with the goal to raise money and awareness for topics around self-leadership. In the first event, over 400'000 CHF were raised and donated to two charitable organizations (see www.herzsprung.ch and www.depressionen.ch).
SCTA is the main cooperation partner for preparing participants and ensuring a safe and fun event with the cold.
Event in Neuchatel
Ready to climb? in Summer, yes. But in winter, by 0°C in shorts? Let's do it! A special event that will take place in 2020.
Preparation for the Samichlaus-Schwimmen
SCTA members provide a preparatory workshop for the participants in the annual Samichlaus-Schwimmen event in Zurich. The main goal is to ensure that the participants have a safe and enjoyable time in the cold water.
