Tour de Credit Suisse 2020, Swiss Team
Cycling for good - from 15 till 18 September 2020! Donations are collected in favor of the Charity of the Year 2020, namely the association CompiSternli in Davos.
For the seventh year running, the Tour de Credit Suisse team is gearing up for another cycling challenge – this year under unique circumstances. After the initial timing (July) and route (from Zurich to Trieste through five countries) fell victim to the restrictions from the Coronavirus, the team is now planning a 4-day tour during the third week of September. A group of 18 cyclists from Switzerland will start on September 15 from Montreux on Lac Léman and travel roughly 580 kilometers through nine cantons along the northwest part of Switzerland before finishing on September 18 in Zurich. The route includes the Col de la Croix, Col du Pillon, Col du Marchairuz, Col du Chasseral, Col du Mont Crosin, and Scheltenpass, climbing more than 12’000 meters in total.
The elderly citizens should participate in life - also digitally.
Education instead of exclusion is the answer. The association CompiSternli provides a unique generation project.
The CompiSternli association offers schoolchildren the opportunity to help the older generation take their first steps in the digital world. In the "iPad project", senior citizens learn from children of junior high school age how to use a tablet in their day-to-day lives. During their training for CompiSternli (literally "computer stars"), the children must think carefully about the needs of older people and practice their interpersonal skills in this way. Through its work, the association wants to close the digital gap between the generations while supporting respectful encounters in which both young people and adults can experience something new.
The aim is for all participants to fundraise for the Credit Suisse charity of the year in their offices, family and friends.
With many fundraising activities canceled in 2020, the Tour de Credit Suisse cycling team will need your support more than ever this year.
