- About
The Coeur Blanc Challenge, established in 2008, is a bi-annual ski event in which teams race to ride every lift in the Méribel Valley within a single day. The route spans 85 kilometres across 8.5 hours of skiing, the equivalent of travelling up and down Mount Everest twice. Since its inception, Coeur Blanc has raised more than £2.25 million for charitable causes, with 100% of funds going directly to beneficiaries.
In 2026, Coeur Blanc is rallying the community to raise £150,000 for the Blackbird Initiative, a pioneering collaboration of universities, clinicians, and innovators redefining prosthetic care for children, veterans, and amputees worldwide.
Blackbird is generating the rigorous evidence needed to unlock faster, lighter, more comfortable, and globally accessible prosthetic solutions, breakthroughs with the power to reduce waiting times, improve comfort, and restore confidence, mobility, and independence.
