After a successful and joyous event in 2022, the European Judo Festival for athletes with intellectual disabilities is set to return to the picturesque Valposchiavo region in Switzerland. From May 28 to June 1, 2025, around 150 judoka from nine different countries will gather to participate in this inclusive sports event.
H2: An Event Where Sport Meets Tourism
The Judo Festival Poschiavo 2025 is more than just a sporting event; it’s an opportunity to foster international understanding and promote inclusive tourism. Valposchiavo is thrilled to host this event, which will bring together athletes, coaches, families, and friends, offering a rich collateral program that encourages interaction with the local population.
H2: The Minds Behind the Event
The festival is made possible thanks to the initiative of the Swiss Adaptive Judo association, in collaboration with Special Olympics Switzerland and the Swiss Judo & Ju Jitsu Federation. Alexis Landais, from the latter, has played a crucial role in organizing the event.
H2: A Chance to Compete and Explore
Apart from the main tournament on May 31, 2025, there will be numerous training and competitive events throughout the week. Judoka will also have the chance to explore the stunning Valposchiavo region. On Thursday, they will embark on a scenic hike in Plazz, and on Friday, they’ll take the historic Bernina line of the Rhaetian railway to Hospice Bernina or Tirano.
H2: A Welcoming Host
Valposchiavo’s selection as the host region is no surprise. The area is known for its commitment to socially sustainable and inclusive tourism. Past initiatives like the info point managed by movement users and holiday offers with accompaniment from Al Punt are testaments to this.
