In a September 2023 interview, Andreas Bitzi, Founder and Managing Director of Quality Partners, discussed his enjoyment of hiking in the Swiss mountains. Bitzi described a recent five-hour-plus hike from Engelberg over the Trübsee and Jochpass, noting the availability of restaurants along the route. He stated that he prefers hiking in the summer when the mountains are snow-free, adding that he has not skied in some time. Bitzi commented that not all Swiss people share a genetic predisposition for mountain activities, but that he himself spent holidays in the mountains with his parents as a child. He also remarked that hiking gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it was one of the few activities permitted with fewer restrictions, though he noted that trails became somewhat overcrowded as a result.
