Freedom To Ski – Château d’Oex, Switzerland

Tandem Flex Ski for Children with Physical and/or Mental Disabilities

This adapted sports program shows that life doesn’t have to limit those who are differently abled. The Cura Children’s Foundation will finance a Tandem Flex Ski for the Capdenho Association and with that we will help them open up the world of outdoor winter activity to children with physical and/or mental disabilities. Using specialized techniques and methods, their volunteers guide their program participants through an experience they’ll never forget.

Through projects like Freedom to Ski, Cura Children’s Foundations helps to empower children and families in need. Our support provides essential assistance, leading to the long-term impact of helping to build confidence, self-esteem and life skills through accessible recreational programs.

We would like to help Capdenho in raising money for: 1. A Tandem Flex Ski: This highly technical equipment costs CHF 11’000,- but the joy it brings is not money measurable 2. Ski Tickets: A daily ski lift ticket which is required for every child to be able to participate in the ski activity costs CHF 65,-

Thank you so much, every amount counts!

“I must admit that at the beginning I was quite frightened sitting in the Tandem Ski Flex. Being used to controlling almost everything in your daily routine and then suddenly experiencing this total loss of control gave me a much deeper appreciation for what children with a handicap experience on a day-to-day basis. Once we started the descent of the slope the feeling was surreal and exhilarating. Having skied all of my life, the feel of adrenaline and freedom on the Tandem Ski Flex was the same as me carving on skis at full speed. The sensation of not being in control was soon replaced by comfort and calmness due to the instructor handling the sledge.”

“These days are not only moments of pure happiness for our handicapped daughter, but they are also a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. Rediscovering the joys of skiing, leaving the responsibility of our child in expert hands for a few hours and skiing beside them to see those radiant smiles— it’s priceless! Offering quality and exclusive time to her little sister is also priceless! So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to next year!”

“Thank you for allowing us to think outside the box, to experiment new things, to simply dare. Sunita discovered sensations she probably couldn’t have felt otherwise. For her, a chairlift is a plane, she “flies,” a descent: the intoxication of speed. Sunita’s expressions of joy linked to these moments of relaxation are thanks to the people who enable her to experience all this.”
