Sport-Events
Anyone who thought that a sporting event would just pop up in a city was mistaken. The bid and therefore the awarding of a major sporting event is preceded by years of work, lots of clarifications and discussions with associations. The Bern Convention Bureau supports and connects players and stakeholders and thus helps to attract attractive sporting events to Bern. Well-maintained infrastructure, good transport links and sporting expertise make Bern the ideal venue for major sporting events.
