From September 18 to 24 2026, the French-Swiss artist Saype will create a monumental work of art on the lawns of the Gurten. The temporary fresco, created using eco-friendly and biodegradable paint to mark the 30th anniversary of Handicap International Switzerland, sends a powerful message of solidarity and inclusion.
Following the official unveiling on September 25, the artwork can be admired until early October, weather permitting. The Gurten Ferris wheel offers a particularly impressive view of the artwork, providing a bird’s-eye perspective.
