The goal of the event is to distinguish the differences between the Iranian culture, its social values and customs from the neighboring countries with whom Iran is often associated with.

It is a unique opportunity for the Iranian athletes to train and compete with the Swiss Ski elite. Two women from the Iranian national ski team, invited on a private initiative, will compete in multiple races within a 10 days period in Switzerland, starting from Tuesday March 15 in Thyon
