Among Peaks and Perspectives

On the Touristic Day of the 53rd St. Gallen Symposium, the Leaders of Tomorrow explored Hoher Kasten in Appenzell, Switzerland.

About the Pictures

Before the intense discussions and panels of the 53. St. Gallen Symposium began, the Leaders of Tomorrow had the chance to connect and unwind amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The group visited Hoher Kasten in Appenzell, Switzerland, where they took in panoramic views, shared stories, and forged connections that would shape the days to come.

The images capture a rare blend of cultural exchange, natural beauty, and genuine joy. From candid moments and deep conversations to the large group photo with the snow-capped Säntis massif behind. These memories are more than just scenic, they reflect the spirit of community and curiosity that defines the Symposium.

What is the St. Gallen Symposium?

The St. Gallen Symposium is a globally renowned platform for cross-generational dialogue, hosted annually at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. It brings together current decision-makers—Leaders of Today—with visionary young talents—Leaders of Tomorrow—to exchange ideas and shape solutions to the world’s pressing challenges. Founded in 1969, the Symposium has grown into one of the most important student-led conferences in the world, fostering thoughtful dialogue across generations, cultures, and disciplines.
