The conditions of the challenge

11 descents and four ascents in one day: that adds up to 8,848 metres of vertical distance and a Club 8848 membership.

All to be completed in one day

• Ski or snowboard down the Lagalb run 11 times and
• Complete the footpath between the mountain station and Piz Lagalb four times 

Once you have done that you will be accepted into Club 8848 at the end of the season and you will be immortalised on the membership board.

Registration

How it works

First register online and enter your contact details. At the check-in counter at the Lagalb mountain station, you can purchase your challenger kit for CHF 10. Then you’re ready to go! You can do the ascents and descents in any order you want. You can decide on your own strategy. Find out more about how the challenge works in the PDF.

Membership fee

When you complete the challenge, you automatically become a club member for the current season. The following year, you will need to pay a membership fee of 8,848 centimes (CHF 88.48) in order to remain an active member. Adolescents under 18 years of age pay half the normal fee (CHF 44.24). If you do not pay the membership fee, you automatically become a passive member at the end of the year and therefore lose your membership benefits. You can only become a member if you have completed the challenge. 
If you pay the active member fee without completing the Club 8848 challenge, the amount will be recorded as a patron’s donation.
