Created in 1926, the CHI Geneva is one of the world’s most prestigious equestrian competitions. Each year, Palexpo welcomes the very best riders and drivers of the planet on the biggest indoor arena (5,400m2). Awarded ten times the world's best equestrian competition by L'Année Hippique, the CHI Geneva is part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping alongside the CHIO Aachen (GER), the Spruce Meadows "Masters" of Calgary (CAN) and the Dutch Masters of Hertogenbosch (NED). The Concours Hippique International de Genève has hosted two finals of the Show Jumping World Cup (1996 and 2010) as well as fifteen Rolex IJRC Top 10 Finals. The Champions Challenge© presented by Rolex is also one of the highlights of the event, as are the Indoor Cross Country, the Driving World Cup and the U25 competition that was initiated in 2019 for the first time. Each year, 700 highly motivated volunteers bring the event to life and welcome 43,000 spectators over the four days.
