Swatch Nines - Family Ties & Endless Vibes

The true essence of Swatch Nines was on full display last week as Schilthorn transformed into a welcoming, friendly playground for skiers and snowboarders. Family vibes and tight-knit camaraderie took centre stage, creating a pressure-free space where riders cheered, encouraged, and pushed one another to new heights with jaw-dropping tricks and slams. The whole mountain buzzed with passion—every stomped landing came with a hug and a high five, and it’s that stoke that keeps people coming back.

Part of these impeccable vibes are the result of our design philosophy that puts the riders first. The breathtaking features are imagined and designed by riders, for riders, with the goal of creating a space where athletes feel comfortable, inspired, and free to express themselves without the pressure of competition.

"The Swatch Nines have been amazing. This was my first year out here, and it's been the most incredible experience. I've been watching this event since I was a little kid, and it's been a huge dream of mine to come. There is no pressure here. It's a crazy nice build, it's warm, it's sunny. It's completely perfect conditions. It's just a lot of good energy and passion." —Luca Harrington (SNB, NZL)
