I am making a series where I cook every national dish and my first step is to come to the sub and ask the question.

now I understand that not every country has a defined national dish and that some countries have many different regions with different cuisines. in that case I will make the one that you guys agree on best represents Switzerland. please let me know what you think

Since i discovered as an curiosity one day the institut of le rosey i became obssesed by the swiss ultra rich boarding schools and the powerful alumni that it gathers. Its crazy that such place exist myself as an poor person i would never imagine that such place would exist its beyond my wildest imagination

for someone who have contact or maybe have worked or even someone who is loaded that studied there. What is your view on these institutions ? does anyone has any contact there or know someone ? i would love to hear.

I’m curious about how various foreign accents are perceived when someone speaks Swiss German. For example: French, Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Slavic languages, Turkish, etc.
Do some accents stand out more than others? Are some generally perceived as easier or harder to understand? Are there any that people tend to find particularly pleasant or particularly harsh-sounding?

I am Chinese and have been suffering depression for three years. Recently, I have been feeling just extremely exhausted, tired with my life. I want to know if the Dignitas organization can help depression patients.

When driving on your learners permit, you may only drive on the Autobahn whenever you are deemed "Prüfungsreif". However, the definition of Prüfungsreif seems to vary by canton. For example, in St.Gallen having your driving teacher vouch for your ability to drive on it suffices, while in Zürich you explicitly need an exam date set. How do the other cantons handle this?

I can't seem to find a definitive resource on this, so I'd be glad if someone could point me towards something of the like

I'm a tourist, I dont know anything. Don't hate on me.

I just see so many of these houses so far up on the mountains!

Anyone else getting exhausted trying to time when and where to refuel in Switzerland lately? The wild price swings from one day to the next are getting ridiculous, not to mention the massive price jumps just a few kilometers down the road between different cantons.

Hey everyone,

I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to try anyway. Yesterday (Tuesday), I had a really nice and spontaneous conversation in a mountain gondola to Grindelwald mountain/Interlaken with a young female student from South Korea. She was wearing a pink beanie, carrying an Austria bag, traveling through Europe alone, and mentioned she had been to Amsterdam before where I come from.

We talked for a bit, and she later came up to me to chat again while my parents were a bit further away. Sadly, we had to turn around early on the hiking path because the hike became too heavy for my dad, and in the moment, I forgot to ask for her Instagram.

If you are reading this, or if you know someone matching this description who is currently traveling in Switzerland Interlaken, I’d love to stay in touch! Send me a DM with the age I told you I was, so I know it’s you.
Thanks!

Bin ich wirklich der einzige, der die Snacketti Cheese Tubes vermisst?

Saw several posts this past week with the same overall mood of seemingly random foreigners attaching pictures of alpine barns, etc all asking the same question. Did the whole world decided for whatever random reason to be interested in swiss building at the same time?

Maybe I am too far-fetched, but are to posts AI or peoples trying to train AI to recognize swiss barns (lol)?

Give me your wildest guesses.

I've noticed this question comes up quite often among homeowners in Switzerland, especially as online property platforms have made private sales much easier than they were a few years ago. On one hand, selling privately means avoiding agent commissions and having complete control over pricing, communication and the overall timeline. On the other hand, experienced agents can offer local market insight, handle negotiations, coordinate viewings and manage much of the paperwork, which may reduce stress and even improve the final outcome.

Some agencies, such as ERA Kuhlmann Immobilien, also emphasize local market expertise and professional marketing, but it's difficult to know whether those services consistently justify the commission in practice.

For people who have bought or sold property in Switzerland, what was your experience? Did selling privately work out well, or did working with an agent result in a smoother process or a better sale price? It would be interesting to hear real experiences rather than general opinions, as every canton and local market seems a little different.

Hey guys, im going to watch The Odyssey in Pathe Spreitenbach and as the movie is pretty long, I was wondering whether someone who has seen it there can tell me whether the screening includes a break in the middle or not.

Thanks in advance!

We‘re currently hiring for a cyber security role but we haven‘t had much success attracting candidates through Linkedin.

I‘m curious where do Cyber Security Professionals in Switzerland typically look for new job opportunities? Waht is the most popular plattform?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

We have finally found an apartment where pets are allowed, so we are planning to leave our current apartment. The move-in date for the new apartment is in September, while our current lease would normally end at the end of October (with the 3-month notice period).

We are wondering whether it is possible to submit a Kündigung that guarantees we can leave by the end of October at the latest, while still allowing us to propose Nachmieter if we find someone who can move in earlier.

Is this possible, or do we have to choose one option or the other? We are worried that if we only rely on finding a Nachmieter, we might not find someone for September/October and end up paying rent for additional months, whereas a normal Kündigung would give us a fixed end date.

I’m planning to go to the FC Lugano vs Dukagjini UEFA Conference League playoff match and I’m wondering if it’s okay to wear my Ajax shirt?

I’m aware that in some European stadiums it can be risky to wear shirts from clubs not playing, but I don’t know much about the atmosphere at Lugano matches.

My girlfriend's father lived in Switzerland for a few years while working at Nestlé a few decades ago, and he recently told me that authentic Swiss fondue doesn't use white wine, only Kirsch. Is this true?

I've looked it up and all the recipes I can find call for dry white wine. Most don't even mention Kirsch at all... so I'm coming straight to the source to find out: does it use Kirsch, both, or just dry white wine? Or is there even a single traditional recipe?

So my question here is what can i expect moving to switzerland, i am moving there in engelberg to do my 6 month internship for my school and to be honest i don t know what can i expect and how is it going to be, i don t know german or french and i will be working in hospitality industry. If anybody wanna give me some tips or living in elgelberg or knowing somebody who does and wanna connect, dm me.

As the title says, I'm trying to sell some valuable Magic: The Gathering cards (worth €300+ each) on cardmarket.com. The problem is that all interested buyers are from outside Switzerland, so they would have to pay €50 or more in import taxes and fees. As soon as they realize that, they back out of the purchase.

I was therefore wondering if there are any hobby stores in Switzerland where I can simply walk in and sell the cards in person. I appreciate any recommendations.

I am moving to switzerland for work and I am looking for fun and welcoming alternative spaces for punk and metal concerts, any tips?

I’ll be visiting Switzerland this September for 9 days. I’ll mostly be traveling around the country by train (already have the Swiss Travel Pass) and staying in hostels.
What’s the best eSIM to use? I’m mainly looking for reliable coverage in the mountains and smaller towns, not just the cities. I don’t need a ton of data mostly Google Maps, messaging, and looking up train times. How far in advance do I need to purchase?

I would like to have an item found on twint, how can I pay safely? No bank transfer, no twint. Have like a purchasing protection like VINTED or PayPal that if the object is not inside or is broken, I have insurance

Hi everyone! I’ll have about 24 hours in Switzerland and would love some advice on how to make the most of it.

For context, I arrive in Zurich around 11:00 AM and fly out at 11:00 AM the following day, so I’ll need to be back in Zurich that evening. I’m torn between spending the day in Lucerne or Appenzell. I enjoy scenic walks, charming old towns, mountains, and great local food, but I’d also like to avoid feeling rushed. I’my a flight attendant, which is why I’m staying in Zurich, I have a crew hotel there.

If you only had this amount of time, which would you choose and why? Or would you stay in Zurich instead? Open for other recommendations too!Thanks in advance!
