"César Ritz" students Verena Fuhlendorf and Julian PetrowThe “House of Switzerland 2008, China”, the official National Swiss House at the Olympic Games, serves as a hub and a meeting place for the Swiss Olympic team, their fans, and influential decision makers in business, politics, culture and sports. Unlike most national houses hosted by other countries, the House of Switzerland is open to the general public and invites both Chinese and international visitors to experience Swiss sportsmanship and discover leading Swiss companies during the Olympic Games. In conjunction with the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss Olympic Association and other partners use the house for receptions, client events, press conferences, and medal celebrations for winning athletes. The House of Switzerland 2008, China is organized by Presence Switzerland and the Embassy of Switzerland in China in partnership with the Lake Lucerne Region. All catering is by Gamma Catering AG supported by hotel school students. 15 of them are from "César Ritz" Colleges. The restaurant and VIP lounge are extremely busy with both Swiss athletes and fans as well as Chinese visitors keen to try Swiss style food and drinks.
