Outdoor
We tell stories of people from the most beautiful corners of Switzerland, such as the Engadine, the Upper Valais or the Bernese Oberland. From the ambitious kitesurfer who trains on Lake Silvaplana, to the alpine herdsman who makes his own goat cheese, to the farmer who produces sustainable merino wool, or the team of researchers who are investigating the shrinkage of the Morteratsch glacier. We move thematically in the areas of sport, lifestyle and hobby.
We use our outdoor excursions to test products where you will need them: Hiking boots in the Alps, neoprene suits on mountain lakes or bicycle repair kits on remote trails.
If you're drawn to the outdoors for work or leisure, follow the outdoor theme to get out into the fresh air from your couch or desk.
