HIKING SPECIAL (Swiss Stories 2011, by Stephan Rappo) - Swiss Press Award

SI Grün

Stephan Rappo

A special feature on Switzerland's number one sport for the magazine SI Grün. This summer, I traveled with four different celebrities in various regions of Switzerland: with Ronja Furrer, model, on the Weissenstein near Solothurn; with Eliane Burki, alphorn player, in the Vallé du Joux; with Simon Enzler, cabaret artist, on the Scheidegg in Appenzell; with Mike Schmid, athlete and world champion, in the Kiental valley in Bern. The result is a photographic essay composed of portraits and atmospheric images that actually addressed the clichés prevalent in people's minds.
