If you are near a photo spot, the AR function is activated with a button and with a click the digital object drops straight into the album. The more photo points you earn, the higher you rank in the Bronze, Silver, and Gold rankings. In addition, you can use the “Photospot Selfie” function to share your experiences with friends at the touch of a button and encourage them to experience the Grand Tour of Switzerland for themselves.

Swiss Snow App
Highlights of the attractive Swiss winter resorts Are presented
Winter sports enthusiasts can find hourly temperature forecasts as well as snow and location information on over 200 Swiss winter resorts in the Swiss Snow App. The app impresses users with its detailed filtering and search options for a personalised selection from the extensive winter database. For example, find every winter sports resort near you that has fresh snow.

Up-to-date: Thanks to current and relevant winter data, the app is always up-to-date and you can view the snow forecast for your favourite destination up to 7 days in advance.
Easy to use: The redesign makes the user-friendly app even easier to use.
Interaction Design
User Experience: Clear navigation makes the difference
The fresh and modern Swiss Snow app focuses on individualisation and interaction. Users can set their favourite winter locations and fine-tune them to display only content that is relevant to them. For example, cross-country skiers can only look at cross-country skiing temperatures, cross-country skiing conditions and the weather.
User Interface: Emotionality and simplicity as guiding design principles
The emotionality and the connection to the unique Swiss winter landscape are at the forefront of the app. Designed with large images, illustrations, icons, colours and an otherwise simple choice of colours, interactions are placed in the foreground in a user-leading manner.
Software Development
The app has been developed using the React Native framework, which is based on JavaScript. Hybrid development offers more opportunities to create features with native elements, delivering more fluid and true apps. Two apps can be deployed with the same code base, which usually leads to faster development.
The highlights of the Swiss Snow App are:
- Snow slider: Fun element with touch, slide and vibration for locking.
- Information architecture: Navigation elements are different on iOS and Android.
- Caching mechanism: Resources (documents, images) are saved in a cache to keep data up to date and maintain high performance.
- Dark Mode: The dark screen mode not only protects the battery, but is also better for the eyes.

It creates a feeling as if the trailer was filmed at the winter sports resort. This arouses more interest because it feels more real and you also want to be right in that place. In addition, graphic elements, surfaces and shapes as well as explanatory typographical elements are used. This allows a seamless and exciting fusion of informative content with the emotional imagery.
