Every year, Switzerland’s Federal Council publishes a photograph reflecting the theme for the year, which is chosen by the new president. This year’s theme is optimism, solidarity and foresight.
The photo shows the 7 Federal Councillors and the Federal Chancellor in front of a canvas with the outlines of well known mountain peaks in Switzerland, which include the Matterhorn.
Viola Amherd, Switzerland’s president in 2024, is pictured in the centre of the photograph wearing a bright blue suit.
The photograph was taken by Sina Guntern from the canton of Luzern. The video below shows the making of the photograph.
