A living tradition

Swiss wrestling

Two men trying to throw each other onto the ground in one fell swoop.

From the wrestling taster day for children to the women’s wrestling association or association and mountain wrestling festivals through to the Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival – we wrestle along.

We support the sport of Swiss wrestling

Tradition and customs, respect and fairness: these values, which are inherent to the sport of Swiss wrestling, are also cultivated and promoted by us. We have been a proud partner of the Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival since 2007. After Aarau, Frauenfeld, Burgdorf, Estavayer, Zug and Pratteln, we are also involved in ESAF 2025 Glarnerland+ as a royal partner.
In addition, we are a partner at national level for the Swiss National Wrestling Festival in Appenzell and the Unspunnen Wrestling Festival, which is one of the most important wrestling festivals in Switzerland.
The mountain wrestling festivals at Schwarzsee, on the Rigi, Weissenstein and Schwägalp as well as various sub-association and cantonal wrestling festivals can also count on our support.

As an official junior partner of the Swiss Wrestling Federation (ESV), we also support the “Wrestling Taster Days”, which are held annually in over 100 wrestling clubs throughout Switzerland. And we have also been promoting women’s wrestling since 2023 and are a royal partner of the Swiss Federal Women’s Wrestling Association (EFSV).
