Alpine Challenge
Join us for the fourth edition of an evening alpine trekking challenge in aid of pediatric research, on February 22, 2025 at Ski Garceau and March 22, 2025 at Owl's Head.
A hike under the stars
The ALPINE Challenge is a 4-hour alpine touring challenge with all proceeds going to pediatric research. The first three editions raised $622,000 for research into child and adolescent mental health.
Conquer the mountains at night on skins or snowshoes, and help fund the Pediatric Research Foundation’s research projects. Make as many ascents as possible in 4 hours, solo or as part of a team. Enjoy your descents by headlamp – the mountain is yours!

Each Alpine Challenge has a musical element to liven up the mountain event. Meet us at the foot of the mountain and join us in the chalet to get the most out of your Alpine Challenge.
