SRF Donnschtig-Jass 2026
Overview
Intro
SRF "Donnschtig-Jass" on July 30, 2026, guest in the Simmental
The Simmental communities of Lenk and St. Stephan are pleased to host the popular SRF live broadcast "Donnschtig-Jass" on Thursday, July 30, 2026. The show is produced in cooperation with SRF and brings the traditional Jass format as well as the region closer to a wide audience throughout Switzerland. The exact location within the destination will be determined a week in advance through a Jass elimination game. Two elimination tournaments are planned, where local players can qualify for the grand live appearance. This not only focuses on the fun of playing but also on the active involvement of the local population.
Look forward to the following guests
