This week, between 10 to 14 December, CHI Geneva returns for its 2025-edition and on the entry list are some of the world's very best horses and riders. 

True to tradition, the 64th CHI Geneva will take place at Palexpo. Highlights include Thursday's 1.60m Trophée de Genève – the first of two qualifiers for Sunday's Rolex Grand Prix, Friday's 1.55m Prix des Communes Genevoises – the second Grand Prix qualifier, Friday's annual 1.60m Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final, Saturday's 1.60m Coupe de Genève – a unique event with its combination jumps, and of course Sunday's 1.60m Rolex Grand Prix – the last Major of the year in the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.

At the 2025-edition of CHI Geneva, Rolex will celebrate 25 years as Title Sponsor of the Rolex Grand Prix. This anniversary marks a defining moment in the partnership between Rolex and CHI Geneva, symbolizing a shared pursuit of excellence, innovation, and timeless tradition.

Home hero and 2024 Olympic Vice-Champion Steve Guerdat – a crowd favourite in Geneva – will be in action after recently returning from a break due to back surgery. Guerdat will be joined by a strong squad of home riders, including Martin Fuchs, Pius Schwizer, Edouard Schmitz and Géraldine Straumann.
