Great commitment of the Edelweiss Riders in favour of the Märlierzählerinnen in the Bern Children's Hospital and the Society for Muscular Diseases

The Edelweiss Riders have been organising this event in aid of this fundraising appeal for over twenty years.
On the Stadthofplatz, in an original Indian tipi tent with straw bales, "Märlierzählerinnen" tell stories. There will also be a photo tent with a real Harley. There, men, children and women can take a photo with a Father Christmas, which can be taken away immediately. The cost is CHF 5.00 per photo, which will be donated in full to the project.
There will be a bar and seating in the big tent. Coffee, drinks, hotdogs and fried mushrooms with bacon will be sold, all in aid of the project.
