Swoop down the fastest runs in the world without the slightest risk! Gröden (IT), Bormio (IT), Wengen (CH), Kitzbühel (AT) and Val d'Isère (F): the top five downhill runs of the World Cup are now open to you. Start practising now to increase your chances of qualifying for the final!

In front of your television, how many times have you been impressed by the skiers rushing down these spectacular slopes? We offer you the opportunity to put yourself in their kit and click into their skis. All virtually, of course... and so without risk: using your keyboard, you can beat the best downhill skiers in the world.

With Longines, you can install the 3D Ski Challenge 2008 on your PC for free.

From December 2007 to February 2008, every two weeks or so, download the various runs to your PC: each virtual run “weighs" about 10-15 MB (downloadable in just a few minutes with a broadband connection). No need for a special graphics card or an additional plug-in. Simply install the downloaded file, and you can start skiing right away.

By registering, you can participate in the qualifications and, if you’re fast enough, in the finals (you must beat a predetermined time). You can also compare your time with that of other competitors and even follow one of them during the race, shown superimposed on your screen ("ghost").

At the end of the five races, a final ranking (on a points system) is established for all those who have participated in all events.

Prizes provided by Longines and its partners will reward the best competitors. Top prizes include five Longines Sport Collection watches.
