Our dig­i­tal mar­ket­ing spe­cial­ist is always keen to try out new expe­ri­ences. She rarely keeps her feet still. You nev­er know where you’ll find her from one day to the next – on the sum­mit, by the water or in the city? When she plans her next tour of dis­cov­ery, then she’s cer­tain to look for a seclud­ed spot, with good food and good com­pa­ny. Her socia­ble man­ner and cre­ative ideas make her the per­fect addi­tion to our edi­to­r­i­al team.

Nina works for the Swiss Youth Hos­tels as a PR spe­cial­ist. She’s always on the look­out for excit­ing sto­ries, and not just at work – off the job, she’s con­stant­ly get­ting into new adven­tures to avoid bore­dom. When she’s not climb­ing moun­tains, par­ty­ing at fes­ti­vals or explor­ing Switzer­land, she enjoys cud­dling her two cats on the couch.

Lin­da is our Head of Mar­ket­ing and is up for any kind of fun. When she’s not spin­ning, jog­ging or box­ing, she’s laugh­ing until her stom­ach hurts at a com­e­dy show. Lin­da has lived every­where and pro­vides us with the best hol­i­day tips. Besides, Lin­da loves skirts so much that it’s almost a bit strange when she wears trousers for once.

With a suit­case at her side, our con­tent and social media spe­cial­ist trav­els all over Switzer­land. She reg­u­lar­ly vis­its our fifty youth hos­tels to doc­u­ment their high­lights on social media. Born in Graubün­den, she is always drawn back to her home can­ton, where she enjoys hik­ing and bathing in moun­tain lakes. She espe­cial­ly loves live music, colour­ful skies and flow­ers.

My name is Yvonne and my son, hus­band and I test out excur­sion tips, muse­ums, play­grounds, fam­i­ly-friend­ly cafés and restau­rants in Switzer­land. The Swiss Youth Hos­tels are ide­al­ly sit­u­at­ed for our dis­cov­ery tours and we appre­ci­ate the warmth and sim­plic­i­ty of the hos­tels. You can also fol­low our expe­ri­ences on our Insta­gram account @kleiner_abenteurer.

Sina Can­dri­an is a pro­fes­sion­al snow­board­er, Swiss Youth Hos­tels ambas­sador and is always up for fun! In her free time, she’s usu­al­ly some­where out in nature. In win­ter, you’ll find her on her board, and in sum­mer she’s bik­ing or climb­ing. Sina joined the Schtifti Foun­da­tion in 2020, com­mit­ted to pro­mot­ing the health of young peo­ple togeth­er with the team.

Christi­na Raget­tli is not only a huge win­ter fan, she also loves lac­ing up her hik­ing boots and going on dis­cov­ery tours in sum­mer. When she’s not explor­ing the moun­tains or test­ing a youth hos­tel, she spends lots of time with her fam­i­ly. The Swiss Youth Hos­tels ambas­sador is also a best-sell­ing author, with her book «VON WEGEN». Besides her own sto­ry, she has also writ­ten her broth­er Andri Ragettli’s in «ATTACK YOUR DREAMS».

Hel­lo, we are the Swiss Youth Hos­tels team. We are on the road for you in our youth hos­tels and dis­cov­er the most beau­ti­ful cor­ners of Switzer­land. We are hap­py to share our expe­ri­ences and tips with you here on our blog.
