Swiss Heritage Stories

Channel Description

Swiss Heritage Stories is a cinematic archive dedicated to documenting the precious trades of the Alps and the surrounding regions. We believe that behind every handcrafted object is a history worth preserving. Filmmaker Alain Hospenthal travels through Switzerland’s remote valleys and mountain cantons to find the last masters of traditional trades—from ancient woodworking techniques to forgotten agricultural practices. This is more than documentation; it's a quiet search for the meaning of skill, patience, and tradition in a modern world. Join us to hear the untold stories of the artisans, witness their meticulous craft, and help preserve the essence of Swiss heritage. Welcome to People and Places Switzerland. Alain Hospenthal
