Winter 2023-2024

One of the largest open-air curling tournaments in Europe, the Horu Trophy (now in its 32nd year) unites the best curling clubs in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The three day competition is in the centre of town, at the Zermatt ice rink from January 25-28, 2024. It’s a great way to learn about the sport’s most important terms and techniques: a “curl” (inducing a curved path), the “house” (the circular target marked on the ice), and “takeouts” (any throw meant to remove one of the other team’s rocks from play). The ice rink also hosts local club tournaments every Wednesday this winter season.
