The teams from Eurospider and Publicom spent Tuesday, June 27, 2017 high in the sky visiting Swisscom’s broadcasting station on the Uetliberg. The trip started at Zurich’s main station, where the teams caught the train to Uetliberg before taking a short walk to Swisscom’s broadcasting station. An experienced guide welcomed the team to the station and led them through the former and current sections, where they learned exciting new facts and gained interesting technical insights. The highlight of the tour was the visit to the transmission tower, which offered a stunning view over the Swiss landscape from 46 meters up.
Afterwards, the Eurospider and Publicom teams enjoyed a delightful drinks reception on the terrace of the Uto Kulm Hotel. The breathtaking view made for a relaxing end to the evening for employees.
