SWISS: Enter To Win A St. Moritz ‘Food Safari’ With A Celebrity Chef!

by Lufthansa Flyer | Apr 22, 2014 | Contests, Featured, Swiss | 0 comments

SWISS has just started a great contest that will award a lucky winner a trip to Switzerland and be a guest of celebrity Chef Reto Mathis as he takes you on a ‘Safari’ of the finest dining opportunities in St. Moritz.

For those of you familiar with SWISS, you’ll recognize Chef Mathis as one of the Chefs who has previously participated in SWISS’ ‘Taste Of Switzerland’ culinary program.    This program provides passengers flying in First and Business Class an opportunity to experience the menus of some of Switzerland’s finest Chefs.

The following video features Chef Mathis as he discusses his participation in SWISS’ program:

The prize package includes 2 Economy Tickets on SWISS to St. Moritz from any USA gateway, 3 nights at the Hotel Steffani in St. Moritz and a pair of 8-day First Class Rail Passes so that you can explore the beauty of Switzerland by train.

Additionally, the trip will need to take place between October 1 and 19 due to the Chef’s availability. The deadline to enter the contest is May 4, and is open to USA residents only.

To enter the contest, you’ll need to visit SWISS’ Facebook Page and fill out an entry form and answer a test question that asks:    Why would you use a dog instead of a pig when searching for truffles?

The reason for the question is that when it comes to contests and European laws, there usually needs to be some kind of skill question that will make an entry valid.

Good Luck! 🙂
