Zermatt’s Floating Sculptures: Switzerland's first augmented reality trail

Next available date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026

3920 Zermatt
AI images for the visualisation. Imagine walking through Zermatt with the Matterhorn before your eyes, and suddenly sculptures come to life, as if you were walking through a floating artwork.

Welcome to Switzerland's first augmented reality sculpture trail, open from December 11 2025 to March 31, 2026. Valais artist Sarah Montani lets digital works of art fly freely through the village, defying gravity and playfully integrating themselves between the peaks and alleyways.

Whether at sunrise on the church square, between historic barns, or simply strolling through the narrow streets, take out your smartphone and the augmented reality sculptures will appear, without any app, QR code, or complicated installation. Just you, your device, and the art. Take photos, videos, discover the works, and share them with #zermattart.

The AR Sculpture Trail is for everyone: hikers, skiers, art lovers, partygoers, and anyone who likes to discover new things. The sculptures are geolocated, only visible in Zermatt, and transform the village into an interactive open-air gallery. You can find out where the magical sculptures are located on the website created specifically for this purpose.

It's as easy as this:
1. Travel to Zermatt
2. Activate location services on your smartphone
3. Visit the website zermatt-art.com
4. Visit one of the listed locations
5. Experience the magic

Grand opening on December 11, 2025: Be there and experience how Zermatt lives digital, sustainable, and participatory culture. Here, art is not locked away in a museum; it flies, plays, and inspires until March 31, 2026. Tech-friendly & data protection compliant: No app, no collection of personal data. Website: sarahmontani.com/zermatt

To explain the invisible sculpture trail, images were created using artificial intelligence (Sora 2). The artworks are only visible with a smartphone—and they look different live. The sculpture trail is an initiative of the Magicmountain Zermatt association, which is organizing the Electronic Music & Art Festival in Zermatt for the second time. It will take place from December 11–14. More information: www.magicmountainzermatt.ch/skulpturenweg and www.magicmountainzermatt.ch
