Auf Initiative zweier Schweizer Journalisten wurde im Frühjahr 2011 ein einzigartiges Projekt gestartet: das erste Skirennen Afghanistans. Doch allen widrigen Umständen zum Trotz: Der '1st Afghan Ski Challenge' stiess International auf grosses Interesse und wurde von unzähligen TV-Stationen in ihren News behandelt.
On the initiative of two Swiss journalists - both of them passionate mountaineers and skiers - an experiment was launched in the spring of 2011, to organize the first ski race in Afghanistan. Bamiyan (200 kms from Kabul) lies on an elevated plain which is surrounded by mountain peaks of an altitude of 5000 meters. In the past 10 years, these mountains and also the presence of armed forces protected the population from war and the Taliban. But this project did not run without any difficulties and many times it seemed to fail, because we must be fully aware that this country has only seen war and terror in the past 30 years. But against all odds: Finally 12 highly motivated young men, who just learned skiing 2 weeks ago, stood at the starting line. And amazingly: all 12 safely reached the finish line! The '1st Afghan Ski Challenge' received lots of international TV news interest because - for once - sportive and amusing news came from Afghanistan.
