75th Weissenstein Schwinget
Overview
Intro
The Weissenstein Schwinget is one of the exclusive group of six Bergkranz festivals, making it an event of national significance.
On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the historic Weissenstein Schwinget will be held for the 75th time. This special anniversary promises to be a lively Schwing festival in a unique atmosphere on the Weissenstein.
In addition to the 30 wrestlers from the Northwestern Swiss Wrestling Association (NWSV), this year’s event will also feature 30 wrestlers each from Northeastern Switzerland (NOSV) and Southwestern Switzerland (SWSV), ensuring top-class wrestling action.
The Weissenstein is listed on the map as 1,284 meters high. The unforgettable panoramic view across the Mittelland to the majestic Bernese Alps offers an incomparable backdrop, seemingly created to preserve old traditions such as Swiss wrestling. The Weissenstein Schwinget belongs to the exclusive circle of the six mountain wrestling festivals and is thus an event of national significance. The festival on Solothurn’s local mountain is a major crowd-puller every year and ranks among the highlights of the Swiss wrestling festival calendar.
