Leukerbad International Literary Festival – since 1996

One thousand four hundred and eleven stories recounted at twenty-five hot spots under the open sky on top of the Gemmi along the waters of the Dala in Romance, Germanic, Anglo-Saxon and Indo-Germanic languages, in the languages of the Orient and the Occident. Words thrown like dice on the bâteau ivre, the coup de dés, heard and seen, etched into the cliff-face, and loved by all audiences:
