Traditional “Fassuge” rence

Always on New Year's Day, probably the funniest ski race ever is held on the Arven slope. A few simple skis made from wooden barrels and a wooden stick have to be enough for the racers to get down the slope. Start the new year with lots of laughter and good humor!

Cabaret "Jetzt erst recht!"
by Dr. Marco Caimi

What could be more beautiful in the world than the sound of an alphorn and Swiss money?

Our democracy, and thus Switzerland itself, is committed to obfuscation. Soulless magistrates have turned their backs on it and are crawling up the backsides of Brussels rat catchers. Through dangerous alliances with warmongers, they endanger not only our prosperity but our very existence. Asterix, the little Gallic freedom fighter, a Tell, Winkelried, and Dunant rolled into one, would certainly say in these times: "They're crazy, the Helvetians!"

An evening from Switzerland, in Switzerland and for Switzerland – let's take good care of her!
