Quintessentially Swiss prizes up for grabs

26.07.2024 – Marc Lettau

The more readers participate in our survey, the better for us. There are also many prizes from our gift table on offer for our readers – you just need the luck of the draw.

“Swiss Review” is looking to the future with its 2024 readership survey. We would like you to tell us: in what way should the magazine change? How should it look a few years from now? A look to the future is always a good time to remember the past. In late autumn, “Swiss Review” celebrates its 50-year anniversar. The editorial team believe this calls for celebration in a way that includes our readers: we are combining participation in the readership survey with a prize draw. The gift table is replete with quintessentially Swiss prizes – exclusive items donated by Swiss companies:

A knife with sharp points reflecting Swiss alpine panoramas? The idea of combining the sharp points and alpine skylines comes from PanoramaKnife. Their knives on our gift table are among the finest available. www.revue.link/panorama

An alpine oasis in the form of Hotel Sarain in Lantsch/Lenz (GR): a two-night stay for two people in the Grisons mountains, rising to heights of almost 3,000 metres (Lenzer Horn). www.revue.link/sarain

History, workmanship and fashion all in one: hand-made silk scarves from leFoulard in Schwanden Glarus, printed in Switzerland’s last silk printing mill. www.revue.link/lefoulard

Immerse yourself in another world at Trauffer Bretterhotel in Hofstetten near Brienz (BE). The hotel offers a world of experiences and is also the home of the cult wooden cow with the red spots. On the gift table: an overnight stay for two persons. www.revue.link/trauffer

Renowned knife maker Klötzli from Burgdorf (BE) provides the razorsharp kitchen utensil that would benefit every Swiss Abroad household. www.revue.link/klotzli
