This year, 136 Vontobel employees in 36 teams covered a total of 59,380 km (2022: 41,548 km) by bicycle (and on foot). On average, that's 437 km per participant - and that's almost the distance from Vontobel's Geneva location, via the Bern and Lucerne locations to the Chur location*! Congratulations to all participants on this great achievement and we are looking forward to your participation next year - so that we can "visit" even more locations soon!
