Founded in 2025 in Zürich, Switzerland, Swiss View Wire is a reader-supported blog covering daily life, culture, mobility, and local stories across all cantons. We publish clear explainers, photo essays, and roundups in English, with select content available to members. Pricing and donations are in CHF. Information is general and may change.
We highlight useful, local perspectives from Zurich to Lausanne, Basel, Geneva, Ticino and beyond — short enough for a commute, detailed enough to act on later. Past coverage reflects reporting at the time and may be updated.
Notes are compiled from on-the-ground observations, public schedules, and open data. We aim for clarity and context; when details change, we append corrections or follow-ups.
Membership helps keep the site independent. Members get weekend deep dives, photo sets, and some archived pieces behind a light paywall. You can also support with one-time tips — all in CHF.
We avoid sensational claims and clearly label opinion, guides, and news notes. Sources are cited where useful. We welcome reader flags for updates or clarifications.
Share tips, event notices, and photo submissions. Comments and newsletter replies help us refine coverage and surface local viewpoints from across Switzerland.
Briefs, Q&As, and checklists are designed for mobile reading. Longer features include summary boxes and links to official pages for practical follow-up.
