Berg Tinder (Schweizer Geschichten 2026, von Gabriel Monnet) - Swiss Press Award

Patrick and Cathy, both 58 years old, walk to the Wandflue peak, Bernese Alps, above Jaun of the Canton of Fribourg, on August 3, 2025. Cathy Rotzetter and Patrick found each other eight months ago: through a message left on a Swiss mountaintop. Following the brain-child of Thibaud Monney, a 29-year-old avid hiker who started in 2023 as "a joke" placing dedicated "Tinder" notebooks on mountaintops, creating an analogue alternative, with a Swiss twist: "Mountain Tinder".
