National and international sporting events in Switzerland for people with disabilities
PluSport – the umbrella organisation for disability sports in Switzerland – organises national and international sporting events both large and small in order to motivate young disabled individuals, make the public more aware of people with disabilities and offer our members and member clubs exciting highlights.
PluSport organises tournaments, sport days, competitions and other events for all types of recreational and competitive sports. PluSport also promotes the participation of its member clubs in major events such as the World Gymnaestrada and the Swiss Federal Gymnastics Festival.
Recreational sport highlights include the PluSport Day and many other multi-sport events such as discovery days, football tournaments and various sporting events organised by our member sport clubs.
Major competitive sport events include the FIS Para Alpine Ski World Cup St. Moritz and Swiss championship competitions organised with partners in various disciplines, including Alpine skiing, swimming, cycling, horseback riding, track and field and more – some of which are also featured in the Paralympics.
PluSport also actively contributes to various partner events, among other ways by organising special supporting programmes that increase awareness of people with disabilities and thus ensure the integrative character of such events. In this manner, PluSport promotes the health and exercise of disabled children, teenagers and adults.
Important and well known guests from the realms of sport, politics, culture and business are regularly invited to all events. Among other things, this makes it possible for us to effectively communicate with our partners and sponsors.
Information on our most attractive events can be found under “Highlights”.
