Basel Carnival – The largest popular festival in Switzerland

Months before the traditional three-day event “Fasnacht”, a theme is chosen for the costumes, masks and lanterns of the participants. The masked carnival members parade along a set route through the city center, displaying their «sujets», accompanied by the sound of drums, piccolos and «Gugge» music. Watch them this year in Mid-February!

Ice Magic near St. Moritz

This unique ice trail meanders through Engadin’s forests. One can skate on natural ice for 2 miles along the river Inn. Every few feet there is something else to marvel at since the path in summer is also a Sculpture Path.
