The fifth PATRIZIA Hiking Challenge in the Dolomites – the Italian Peaks Challenge – has come to a triumphant close, and what an incredible success it was!
A powerful symbol of team spirit
Over the course of two days, 60 participants – a dedicated mix of PATRIZIA SE employees and valued sponsors – took on demanding trails of more than 20 km a day, conquering ascents of up to 1,300 metres. The routes, starting in Moos/ Sexten, led the group to breathtaking heights of 2,500 metres, fuelled throughout by determination, camaraderie and even the cheerful company of two curious donkeys who brought smiles along the way.
The challenge united people from across the PATRIZIA network: alongside participants from Augsburg, colleagues and sponsors travelled from London, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Zurich and Milan. Yet this was about more than physical endurance.
It was a celebration of perseverance, cross-border teamwork and the joy of pursuing a shared goal – while creating memories that will last for years to come.
Fundraising target surpassed!
The overarching mission of the Hiking Challenge 2025 was to raise funds for the PATRIZIA School Muniguda in India. Thanks to the extraordinary support of everyone involved, the ambitious target of €150.000 was exceeded. We have received an overwhelming amount of
€170,000 !
What a wonderful outcome that shows what can be achieved when people come together for a meaningful cause.

A heartfelt thank you
Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who made this unforgettable challenge possible:
- to the organisers and participants, who not only gave their energy and endurance on the trail but also raised funds in advance
- to our five main sponsors, who not only supported the cause wholeheartedly but also hiked alongside us
- and to the many additional sponsors and supporters who stood behind the project every step of the way
Thanks to you, the PATRIZIA School Muniguda in India can be expanded. This will give 400 additional students access to high-quality education and enable them to attend secondary school. Hundreds of girls from poor and remote regions will now have an alternative to early marriage—and thus the chance to live an independent, free life and a future in which they can decide for themselves what they want to become.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you!
