10th Inter-Chamber Ski and Snowboard Weekend

The 10th Anniversary Edition of the Inter-Chamber Ski & Snowboard Weekend (Hakuba, Saturday, 31 January) is open for registration at the event webpage of the Austrian Business Council (ABC).

This year, we return to Hakuba, Nagano, as we did in in the first editions of this event. The event is open to everyone – chamber members or not! Bring your family, friends, business contacts – skiers, snowboarders, and winter lovers of all ages are welcome.

Jointly organized by the Chambers of Austria, Belgium-Luxembourg, Ireland, Spain, and Switzerland (with more to come), this event promises a diverse and international crowd. Typically, half of the participants are locals and the other half from abroad, creating a diverse mix and making for a great event.
The “race” is a friendly competition, a simple giant slalom, something to enjoy no matter whether you are an experienced or first time participant. We also always have a group for snowboarders!

Event Schedule:

• Saturday 31 January 2026
  Morning: race, afternoon: free skiing, ski school, or other winter activities
  Evening, from 18:00 to 21:00: award ceremony and networking party
  With around 100 participants including race participants, their families and friends and business contacts
• Sunday 1 February 2026

Note

Accommodation options
We have pre-booked rooms at the Hakuba Tokyu Hotel (the event hotel for the Saturday evening party). However, there is a very limited number of rooms at the indicated rates and once gone, they will – if available – offer rooms at their regular rates.

We also received another set of hotel recommendations listed on the event website under HHG – Multiple Hotels. Please note that the prices listed might not be available. Feel free to inquire at their HHG Central Reservation system (details on the event website).
