The Concours Hippique International de Genève [1] (commonly known as CHI Geneva) is an international indoor equestrian competition held annually in December at Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland. [2] Classified as a CSI5* event, it includes show jumping, driving and indoor cross-country disciplines.[3]

Founded in 1926, the event is one of the oldest indoor equestrian competitions in the world. The competition moved to the Centre sportif des Vernets in 1975 and has been held at Palexpo since 1991, which hosts one of the largest indoor equestrian arenas in the world. CHI Geneva has hosted the FEI Show Jumping World Cup Finals, notably in 1996 and 2010. [4]

CHI Geneva is one of the four events that make up the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, alongside CHIO Aachen, the Dutch Masters and the Spruce Meadows “Masters”.[5]
