The three most beautiful days in Basel

The three most beautiful days in Basel

When the lights go out at four o'clock in the morning on 23 February 2026 for the Morgestraich, it won't just be dark – Basel will hold its breath. The first sound of the piccolo marks the beginning of an extraordinary time. The three most beautiful days.

The city is changing. Alleys become stages, lanterns tell stories, the rhythm of drums carries through the night. Between tradition and subtle irony, an interplay emerges that is unique to Basel. What seems magical is the result of precision, commitment and months of preparation.

We also feel this deep-rooted connection – we have been part of this region for over 50 years. For us, more than five decades in measurement and control technology means thinking ahead, developing further and taking responsibility. Technological progress does not happen by chance – it requires precision, reliability and a keen sense of how everything works together.

Tradition means substance – and the courage to continuously improve.

During carnival season, Basel demonstrates what is possible when quality, discipline and passion come together. These are values that extend far beyond the three most beautiful days of the year.

We wish everyone an impressive, safe and wonderful fasnacht!
