Individual medals will be awarded to the first three competitors (male and female) in each category (except U21 and U18 who are combined into one category if numbers are low) for all events. The Aiglon College Cup will be awarded to the school with the three best participants’ results, with these participants competing in at least two of the three age categories (mini = U10-12, children = U14-16, junior = U18-21).

Equipment: All competitors and forerunners must wear approved RACE HELMETS for all disciplines.

U10 + U12: For the giant slalom, they will race 2 runs on the GS slope on the Chaux Ronde piste. For the Combi-race, two runs with best runs' time to count. The combi-race has been the favourite event by far at previous Aiglon Cups, with racers asking to go for a third round or even seniors asking for a go! It combines slalom, GS, and super G gates with tunnels, jumps, zig zags and other suprises to really test the skill of the racer!

Training and training pistes: on the days prior to the races, training pistes will be available to clubs or schools wishing to train. Please contact the Chief of Race.

Lift Passes: Villars is a Magic Pass resort and so Magic Passes can be used. Otherwise a special rate for lift passes is available to all racers at CHF 28.-. The rate for trainers and accompanying adults is CHF 39.-. These must be bought from the ticket office at the bottom of the gondola in either Villars or Gryon. For advanced booking of lift passes please contact: info@tvgd.ch

Accommodation: please get in touch with requests and we will be able to offer some options based on group size and budget. 

Insurance: all competitors must have insurance cover for both ski racing and helicopter recovery. 

Entry fees: 

• U10 + U12 - 30 Swiss Francs (per racer, per day)
• U14 – U21 - 50 Swiss Francs (per racer, per day)

Entries: individual entries must be made on the official race entry form. School/club entries can be attached to an email on a document that clearly shows name, gender and date of birth. Unless otherwise stated in the ‘additional information’ section of the entry form, racers will be entered into all events.

Closing Date of Entry: Friday 3rd March 2023. Late entries may be accepted but will be dependent on the number of entries received by the closing date.
