The Appenzell artist Hannes vo Wald gave a speech on the mountain, which is 1663 meters above sea level, as announced by the Jakobsbad-Kronberg AG cable car on Thursday. The event was musically framed by an alphorn duo and a yodeller with hand organ accompaniment.
The event has been held every year since 2013, as a spokeswoman for the cable car told the Keystone-SDA news agency. At the first edition, the then President of the Swiss Confederation Ueli Maurer gave a 1 August speech before sunrise.
