Ittigen, 12.10.2020. The candidature dossier was submitted to Federal Councillor Viola Amherd. She supports the project and had planned to receive a delegation of athletes with disabilities at the Federal Palace. However, this was not possible due to stricter coronavirus measures. Nevertheless, the Head of the Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport is delighted: “I am convinced that the bid and the possible staging of the 2029 World Winter Games in Switzerland will make a lasting contribution to an inclusive society.”
