Light installation "Skymetro" Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport is enriched by a further attraction. Since October 2006, passengers are warmly and originally welcomed or bid farewell in Switzerland on the two minute ride. In both tunnels are light installations placed, who present two short movies for all the world to see.

With the motives "Matterhorn" and "Heidi", two typical examples from the tourist region Switzerland are shown. Already in the Skymetro-Stations "Airside Center" and "Dock E", yellow hiking guide posts with the title "Heidi 30 Sec." resp. "Mountains 30 Sec." foretell the light spectacle.

The light installation is a result of a strategic partnership between Unique (Flughafen Zürich AG) and Switzerland Tourism and a part of the superior ccampaign "Enjoy Switzerland".
