Jumping Longines Crans-Montana : the most important mountain contest in Europe

Being a 4 stars equestrian contest, the Jumping Longines Crans-Montana gained a worldwide appeal. Still in Valais Swiss canton, this fourth edition will occur from the 11th to the 14th of July. A huge panel of all-stars riders will compete during a sporting but refined and prestigious event. Like previous editions, Crans-Montana, a luxurious Swiss station, will host the contest.

A four stars contest

Last year, the Jumping Longines Crans-Montana won its fourth star. With 120 participants from 21 different countries, the event became the most important European mountain contest. As usual, this fourth edition will welcome a huge Swish equine delegation : Werner Muff, Romain Duguet, Edwin Smits, Aurelia Loser or even Alain Jufer. Meanwhile, many foreign athletes have confirmed their attendance, notably an impressive British team.

The contest will host a CS14, a CSI Amateur and some trials for younger horses : the Youngsters. It will reach its climax during Longines Grand-Prix Sunday where some of the finest current riders will be set against.

An all-new partner
