Happy 735th, Switzerland! 🇨🇭

1 August 2026

Panorama of the lower Engadine from Alp Sura (2,118m) on a morning with blue sky and puffy white clouds (also some low clouds obscuring Lavin to the right).

Happy Swiss National Day!

I hiked up to Alp Sura for the view and then attended the local 1. August brunch in the village square with music provided by a five-member Swiss folk group. Tomorrow there's a concert followed by lunch (the finale of a 5-day summer fest) that I will also attend.

A traditional Swiss music group performs on stage in a tent where people enjoy 1. August brunch under a white tent.
