Swiss Days Treasure Hunt

SWISS DAYS TREASURE HUNT · 40+ QUESTS

Swiss Days is full of hidden challenges, ridiculous cows, local stories, food, history, live surprises and chances to win. Every Quest location is on the map below — nothing is hidden from you. Start with the quest CLOSEST to you: find its Swiss Cow sign, scan the QR code, and complete the challenge — trivia, picture puzzles, secret codes, ridiculous uploads. Every completed quest adds points to your Swiss Days account. Spend them your way: redeem anytime in the Rewards Marketplace for deals, freebies, food and experiences — or save 500 points for the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING PASS. Redeeming the Pass unlocks the official entry form (points alone don’t enter you). Earn. Redeem. Earn more. Redeem again.
