1 pm and 3 pm: Show “Swing” by Cie Fluctus (20 minutes, all ages) – Two characters face off on a battlefield. Swept up in a whirlwind of competition, they find themselves in the role of Swiss wrestlers. Despite their efforts, they fail to follow the rules, giving rise to an acrobatic, comic and sometimes grotesque duel.

11 am to 5 pm: Treasure hunt organised by Urban Events

Discreet, polite and mysterious, she has lived through the ages and has been present at every key moment in our country’s history. Today, she reveals the secrets of her story and of Switzerland’s great history: Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and their legendary pact, the Unspunnen stone, epic battles and extraordinary encounters. So many adventures – entirely true or completely absurd – brought to life by a high-energy duo.
2 pm to 4 pm: Alphorn and Schwyzerörgeli performance in front of the restaurant
Saturday 1 August
10 am to 5 pm: Swiss challenges – games for the whole family (tug of war, grass skiing race, tin can knock-down, sack race, cow milking, etc.)
