Melchseefrutt
A unique panorama of the Obwalden mountains up to the Bernese Alps
| Roland Schiess Head of Digital Production | A unique panorama of the Obwalden mountains up to the Bernese Alps. The area lies at an altitude of 1920 metres above sea level. For me as a hiker and nature lover, simply a paradise. Lake Melchsee is fantastically beautiful on this day. I can’t get enough of the mountains and the constantly changing clouds. |
Oberengadin
The Upper Engadine is a place of beauty and recreation
| Christian Burkhardt CEO | An evergreen, for me the most beautiful valley in Switzerland with countless top spots! The Upper Engadine is a place of beauty and relaxation, known for its spectacular scenery and wide range of activities. Whether in summer or winter, there is always something to do and experience. For me and my family, a great place for any activity. |
Küsnachter Tobel
The Küsnachter ravine is a nature reserve near Zurich and a wonderful destination for an excursion
| Monika Knecht CFO | The Küsnachter ravine is a nature reserve near Zurich and a beautiful destination for an excursion. It is known for its biodiversity. I have been able to observe rare bird species such as the dipper. The gorge is flowed through by the Küsnachterbach stream and is surrounded by steep rock faces and dense forest. |
Riffelsee
The Matterhorn reflected in the Riffelsee
Corinne Hefti Leader Bubu A-z | I went on a Tour de Suisse with my boys on the Vespa during Corona. Among other places, for the first time in Zermatt at the Riffelsee. This can be reached by the Gornergrat railway. We got on the first train at the crack of dawn so that we would be alone at the lake. The lake is well frequented during the day. We had a great time and it was worth getting up. |
Lago di Saoseo
Lago di Saoseo is an idyllic mountain lake in the Swiss canton of Graubünden
| Claudia Betschart Marketing | Lago di Saoseo is an idyllic mountain lake in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It lies at an altitude of 2,287 metres above sea level and is surrounded by imposing mountains, including Piz Varuna and Piz Saoseo. I went on a hike to this beautiful mountain lake with my friends from the upper school. Despite the terrible singing of my friends, I was able to enjoy the quiet mountain scenery a bit once they were quiet. We had a very fun and beautiful day. |
Magglingen Hike
View of Lake Biel
| Thomas Freitag CEO | The journey to Magglingen is by cable car from Biel. So we put the metres in altitude behind us with ease. We enjoy the view of Lake Biel before hiking through the deeply cut Twannbach Gorge and reaching the village of Twann. The return journey from Twann to Biel is by boat and with a glass of local wine. |
Zermatt
View of the majestic Matterhorn
| Verena Fischer Marketing | My best photo was taken on the terrace of the Alphitta restaurant in Zermatt. Together with my best friend, I enjoyed a delicious Plättli and a cold beer with a view of the majestic Matterhorn. The moment was full of joy and bliss, and it was the perfect stop on a day of countless discoveries in this picturesque region. If you are looking for a place that will enchant you with its beauty and charm, Zermatt is one of those places in Switzerland that you should definitely visit. |
Hulftegg
View of Toggenburg and the hilly landscape of Appenzellerland
Reto Kuhn Product Owner | This photo was taken at the end of October in the Hulftegg region. The pass connects the Tösstal in Canton Zurich with the Toggenburg in Canton St. Gallen and is a popular starting point for hikes with breathtaking views of the Toggenburg and the hilly landscape of the Appenzellerland all the way to Lake Constance. It all looked like the autumn fog would be over the landscape that day and sunlight would wrap the landscape in magical light. Arriving at the car park while it was still dark, I set off in the direction of the expected sunrise. The ground fog quickly dissipated and the sun rising behind the Säntis quickly disappeared in the thick cloud cover. The trees presented themselves in contrast against the imposing Alpine panorama, as if in an Appenzell silhouette. It was a wonderful moment that I remember fondly. |
Schrattenfluh
The Schrattenfluh is a wildly rugged rocky outcrop in the Swiss Pre-Alps
Fabian Biondi Product Owner | The Schrattenfluh is a wildly rugged rocky outcrop in the Swiss Pre-Alps in the canton of Lucerne and part of the Unesco World Heritage. One of the most famous hikes is the Schrattenfluh circuit, which offers spectacular views of the summit and the surrounding landscape and Alps. My passion is climbing, so I like to spend time in the rocks. I look back on this photo particularly fondly, as it reminds me of a beautiful day with my wife. |
Seefeldsee
The Seefeldsee offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere
Mike Kuhn Marketing | Im Sommer ist der See ein beliebter In summer, the lake is a popular place for swimming and fishing. The crystal-clear lake is surrounded by a fairytale landscape of mountains and forests and offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I like to spend time there with my friends and enjoy the beautiful ambience. |
