Independent regional reporting for Switzerland. We focus on practical, local stories that affect daily life in Swiss cantons and municipalities. Articles are short, sourced, and free of unnecessary jargon to support quick reading. Historical context is provided where helpful and is not a guarantee of future outcomes.

Our goals

01

Clarity first

We present concise articles with clear headlines and links to primary sources when available. Readers can quickly understand what changed, who is affected, and what to check next.

02

Local relevance

Coverage prioritizes transport, public services, housing, environment, and community events that typically influence residents and visitors in Swiss regions.

03

Responsible publishing

We avoid sensational language and separate facts from commentary. When data is used, it is cited and described as past results that may not predict future outcomes.

Business model

Alpine Digest operates as a lean, reader-supported publication with optional paid tiers and a transparent support page.

Free tier with daily briefs; Supporter tier with curated newsletters; Member tier with extras and early access.

Daily site updates, weekly email brief, and optional city-specific alerts. Content is mobile-friendly and optimized for quick reading.

No absolute promises. We aim for consistent, well-sourced updates with clear corrections when needed.
