An airplane seat at Flumserberg

Anyone who wants to enjoy breathtaking views across Lake Walen to Lake Zurich and watch beautiful sunsets on Flumserberg can now do so on a very special bench: a wooden bench shaped like an airplane seat.

Since 2016, the Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss has been naming its aircraft after regions where the queen of alpine flowers is native, in keeping with the motto "Where Edelweiss is at home." Edelweiss also grows on the Flumserberg. For this reason, an Edelweiss Airbus A340 was christened "Flumserberg" in October of last year.

As a symbol of the partnership, Bergbahnen Flumserberg AG placed an Edelweiss bench in the Swiss leisure paradise of Flumserberg this morning. A wooden bench in the shape of an airplane seat. From here, visitors will enjoy breathtaking views of the Alpine landscape. Additionally, next to the wooden bench is a signpost showing the direction and distance to some of the holiday destinations served by the Airbus A340 "Flumserberg." The bench's official inauguration was performed by the two sponsors, Maite Nadig, a former Swiss ski racer and double Olympic champion, and David Birrer, Chief Operating Officer of Edelweiss.

"We are delighted about the partnership with Edelweiss. Here at Flumserberg, you can recharge your batteries for a day, perhaps a weekend, or even a week's vacation. This is a parallel to Edelweiss. Passengers also take a break and recharge their batteries at a beautiful vacation destination," says Mario Bislin, CEO of Bergbahnen Flumserberg AG. Edelweiss Chief Operating Officer David Birrer adds: "Just like Flumserberg, we offer countless opportunities to spend your vacation, either active or completely relaxed. And we both attach great importance to unforgettable experiences. We are proud to be able to raise the profile of the region even further with our Airbus A340."
