Are you looking for something really special to make your event stand out
from the crowd? We can bring Switzerland, with its fascinating traditions
and unique Alpine culture, to Dubai.

Professionals
All experts and artists are flown in from Switzerland for your event, and will
be wearing traditional Swiss dress to bring an extra touch of authenticity to
proceedings.
Activities
Your guests, colleagues or clients are welcome to give all of our traditional
Swiss activities a try – or they can just sit back and enjoy the entertainment
if they prefer.
Options
- The music of the mountains
Even the most dedicated music lover is sure to be surprised by some of these
traditional Swiss instruments! There's the long wooden Alphorn, the delicate
arts of Talerschwingen (in which a coin is slowly spun around a porcelain
bowl to produce a sound eerily reminiscent of distant cowbells) and
'Geisslechlöpfe' (or cracking the whip), the authentic Swiss accordion
and 'Löffele', or playing the spoons, to try your hand at.
- Crossbow-shooting challenge
In this William Tell-style game, participants must attempt to shoot the
apple in the middle of the target, using the traditional Swiss crossbow still
widely used in competitive events around the country.
- 'Trycheln' – or the sound of the cow bells!
The rhythmic pealing of enormous cow bells could be said to be the sound
of Switzerland – but as you'll discover, it's not quite as easy as it looks ...
- Traditional Cheese-Making
Switzerland is famous worldwide for its rich mountain cheeses. Our experienced
cheesemakers will help you make your very own slice of the Alps to take home!
- Chocolate tasting
Can you pick out the exceptionally creamy Swiss chocolate from its rivals?
We'll show you how to spot the difference in this fun guided tasting – tea
time will never be the same again!
- Swiss folk dancing in traditional dress
Put on our national dress, pick your partner for a simple, but lively folk
dance – and feel your spirits soar!
- Yodelling
It may look tricky in The Sound of Music – but yodeling is actually surprisingly
easy to pick up, and great fun to learn. We'll teach you the basics of the
ultimate party trick.
- Flagswinging
This traditional celebratory sport is a real artform, and an absolute treat
to watch. We're not sure what’s harder; thowing the flag in the air in the
first place, or managing to catch it elegantly, but what is for sure is that
learning is half the fun.
- Swiss cuisine
We will be happy to provide you and your guests with an authentic Swiss cheese
fondue, a raclette, a delicious barbeque or a traditional Swiss aperitif
accompanied by Swiss cheese and cured meat canapés. Naturally, we can cater
for any special requirements you or your guests may have.
- Show and entertainment
We are happy to arrange for musicians, singers or any other artists from
Switzerland to provide the perfect entertainment during your event. Please
talk to us about the vast choice.
