Some stories begin in faraway places — mine begins in the Haslital, nestled in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Born and raised amid snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and the serene beauty of alpine life, I grew up not only surrounded by nature, but immersed in a tradition of heartfelt hospitality. My grandfather and now my uncle, have welcomed travelers from across the globe to our family-owned hotel. From an early age, I found joy in connecting with our hotel’s guests — listening to their stories, sharing our own — sparking a lifelong passion for crafting meaningful travel experiences throughout Switzerland.
My career has spanned the full spectrum of Swiss hospitality. I began as a professional chef and later graduated from the prestigious Swiss HotelManagement School in Lucerne. I went on to hold sales leadership roles at some of the country’s most iconic luxury hotels, including The Alpina Gstaad and the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel. These experiences have honed my eye for refined detail and true luxury, while enabling me to cultivate a trusted network of top-tier hospitality partners, distinctive personalities, uniquely knowledgeable local experts, and esteemed international travel collaborators.
With the founding of vivid Switzerland, I bring together what discerning travelers truly seek: authenticity, exclusive access, and impeccable service — each element thoughtfully curated. As the Dalai Lama wisely reminds us, «Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before». Travel, after all, is not merely about the destination — it’s about the emotions it stirs, the wonders it awakens, and the memories it leaves behind. Be my guest as I invite you on a journey to discover the land forever engraved on my soul: Switzerland.
Yours sincerely,
Silvio Kehrli
