PATRIZIA Hiking Challenge 2025 – Reaching New Heights Together!

Sep. 2025

The fifth edition of the PATRIZIA Hiking Challenge, held in the stunning Dolomites, has wrapped up with great success! Known as the Italian Peaks Challenge, this year’s event was nothing short of extraordinary.

A true testament to team spirit

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Dolomites, the fifth PATRIZIA Hiking Challenge set off from Moos near Sesto. Over two days, 60 participants – a mix of PATRIZIA SE employees and long-standing sponsors – covered routes of more than 20 km a day, with ascents of up to 1,300 metres, reaching heights of 2,500 metres. Fuelled by determination, teamwork and even the unexpected company of two friendly donkeys, the group pressed on – with plenty of smiles and laughter along the way.

The challenge brought together colleagues and partners from across the PATRIZIA network. From the headquarters in Augsburg to teams and sponsors travelling in from London, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Zurich, and Milan – this was more than a hike. It was a powerful celebration of perseverance, cross-border collaboration, and the shared pursuit of a meaningful goal – all while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

A heartfelt thank you

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who made this remarkable event possible:

To the dedicated organising team and each and every participant – not only for their strength and spirit on the trails but also for their efforts in raising funds ahead of the event
To our five main sponsors – for their generous support and for hiking alongside us every step of the way
And to the many additional sponsors and supporters – your encouragement and commitment helped make this challenge a reality

Thanks to your incredible support, the PATRIZIA School in Muniguda, India, can now be expanded. This will provide an additional 400 students from the impoverished region of Odisha with access to high-quality education, enabling them to attend secondary school. Most importantly, hundreds of girls from underprivileged and remote areas will now have an alternative to early marriage – opening doors to freedom, independence, and the chance to shape their own futures.

From all of us – thank you.
