Fondation Skifuture Saanenland
Best conditions for children and young people.
Promoting and securing the future of skiing in the region.
In April 2022, the foundation stone was laid for the Skifuture Saanenland Foundation, which is part of the Sports sector. The Fondation Aline is one of the six founding members of the foundation. In addition to a significant financial contribution of CHF 200'000.00 to the establishment of the foundation, the Fondation Aline played a leading role in the design of the foundation structure and the business plan. The financing and realisation of the project came about thanks to the participation and support of the Fondation Aline.
The "Fondation Skifuture Saanenland" project is a public-private partnership in which the municipality and the canton also make their contributions. In addition, a club model is being introduced in which members have the opportunity to support the Fondation Skifuture Saanenland with an annual contribution.
With a supra-regional impact, the foundation aims to promote charity and public welfare throughout Switzerland in the area of youth sports and health promotion in the Bernese Saanenland. This is achieved by providing training, development, testing and competition opportunities for young people from the Saanenland region and the whole of Switzerland.
The aim is to ensure the year-round operation and maintenance of the new facilities in the areas of alpine skiing and Nordic disciplines. This enables a large number of interested young people from the region, but also from all over Switzerland, to receive professional ski training in Gstaad and to qualify specifically for regional, national and international competitions.
By supporting talented young skiers, Fondation Aline not only contributes to their health and quality of life, but is also committed to strengthening the resilience of young people - regardless of their socio-economic background or physical abilities.
The Fondation Aline helped the Fondation Skifuture Saanenland to get off the ground and created the basis for the project to be realised. From now on, it will have an exclusively advisory function and will support the Board of Trustees of the Fondation Skifuture Saanenland in administrative and consultative matters until the project is fully realised.
Project Progress: Building Permit Granted
Significant progress was achieved in the "Fondation Skifuture Saanenland" project in early June 2024. The planned amendments to the zoning regulations for the Eggli-Pra Cluen winter sports area have been approved by the Office for Municipalities and Spatial Planning. The building permit for the construction projects has been granted, marking a crucial milestone. This approval allows the implementation of the project plans and represents a significant step forward in the development of the winter sports area. The project plans and additional information are available for review at the Saanen municipal administration.
Further information on the current status of the project can be found on the website of the Skifuture Saanenland Foundation.
