Zurich, 17.12.2018 - Last weekend, ASMALLWORLD welcomed 230 guests from over 25 countries to the 9^th Annual Winter Weekend. This sold-out flagship event, ASMALLWORLD's most-anticipated social event of the year took place at the Gstaad Palace in Switzerland, which was exclusively rented for ASMALLWORLD's guests from December 14^th to Sunday, December 17^th, 2018.

Over 230 guests attended the sold-out Winter Weekend in Gstaad

Last weekend, more than 230 ASMALLWORLD (ASW) members and guests from all over the world travelled to the snow-covered Bernese Oberland for the sold-out ASW Winter Weekend to kick off the winter season. The ASW Winter Weekend is the longest-running, and most-anticipated flagship event of the year.

As in previous years, ASW rented the legendary Gstaad Palace, which opened its doors exclusively for ASMALLWORLD guests, providing the perfect setting to start the festive season. Due to the high demand for this event, ASMALLWORLD also rented rooms in the Alpina Gstaad, to accommodate additional guests.

On Friday night, the theme was 'Je ne regrette rien', which saw the Gstaad Palace ballroom completely transformed into a salon rouge from 1920s Paris. Guests travelled back in time, enjoying live music and performances reminiscent this golden age, including dance performances by French Can Can dancers and two different French bands.

ASW raised CHF 200,000 for the Child's i Foundation during the gala dinner

After basking in the sunshine and savouring local Swiss delicacies during the Après Ski fondue lunch at the chic Chalet Berghaus Wasserngrat, guests attended the traditional ASW Foundation Charity Gala dinner on Saturday evening.

This year ASW supported the Child's i Foundation, a charity which has the goal that every child in Uganda can grow up in a loving family. Child's i Foundation's founder, Lucy Buck, attended the event to present her organisation. In a joint effort between many generous guests and the UBS Optimus foundation, ASMALLWORLD's partner for this event, made it possible to raise CHF 200'000 for this noble cause.

ASMALLWORLD CEO Jan Luescher remarked "We are extremely happy about this amazing weekend. Not only did our guests enjoy our festivities but they also donated generously to support the Child's i foundation. We are proud that we can support Lucy Buck's organisation and make a real difference to the lives of many Ugandan families."
