Leading Swiss Events – Switzerland’s Top Cultural & Sports Experiences

The “Leading Swiss Events” label is awarded to eight world-renowned Swiss events in culture and sport. Weltklasse Zürich has been part of the Leading Swiss Events for several years.

These exceptional events rank among the best worldwide. Tradition, highest quality standards, innovation and continuous development form the recipe for success of Leading Swiss Events.

With their global reach, they showcase a dynamic, modern image of Switzerland while highlighting the country’s cultural and sporting diversity. Other top events include the Montreux Jazz Festival, the International Lauberhornrennen, the Spengler Cup in Davos, the Lucerne Festival, the Omega European Masters in Crans-Montana, Art Basel, the Locarno Film Festival, and White Turf in St. Moritz.

The Leading Swiss Events was founded in 1996 by Claude Nobs (Montreux Jazz Festival) and Paul Reutlinger (President of Switzerland Tourism) to unite and develop Switzerland’s leading events.
