Full of contrasts
Guaranteed variety
The success of a meeting depends on the quality of its social programme. For only those who feel well looked after can perform to the best of their ability. Sports, culture, wellness, shopping, active pursuits, passive pleasures: Switzerland has an enormous variety of attractions. Best of all, you can find everything on your doorstep. So what are you waiting for? Give your participants the very best that our country has to offer.
A taste for diversity. Switzerland stands for chocolate,
watches, jewellery, cheese – and wine. But you can also sample good taste in the boutiques and specialist shops that celebrate the country’s cultural diversity with great charm.
Wrestling, Swiss-style. Schwingen, the Swiss national sport,
involves two men on a circle of sawdust, each attempting to throw his opponent on his back. Equally traditional are Steintossen (stonethrowing) and Hornussen (a cross between golf and baseball).
Culture, art and architecture. World-famous architects including Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron and Santiago Calatrava have created spectacular modern museums, hotels and conference centres to give thrilling contrast to
local tradition.
Made in Switzerland: here’s how. How exactly do you make a hollow chocolate Easter rabbit? What makes a perfect cheese rind? And just how much skill goes into creating a high-quality watch? We are happy to share our secrets:
welcome to the factory…
Variety throughout the year. From golf, hiking and mountainbiking to skiing and winter walking, this little country has a mountain of activities to offer all year. And
more passive pursuits, too – such as an outstanding range of wellness facilities.
An event to remember. Plan a magnificent surprise for your participants: hire out an entire medieval small town, stage a
historic-style Swiss street parade or have your logo beamed onto the walls by a light artist. Here, nothing is impossible.
Unlimited opportunities. Nothing beats the thrill of stepping
out of your comfort zone to push your own boundaries. Experienced instructors and expert guides are on hand to guarantee safety during a host of exciting activities and
adventures.
World champions in recycling. Careful control of planning, strict building regulations, tough pollution limits, an exemplary waste-disposal system and a comprehensive recycling policy: Switzerland’s commitment to the environment has won plaudits worldwide.
