Floating Sculptures on Swiss Lakes: Switzerland’s first augmented-reality sculpture trail across nine lakes
August 15, 2026 to Mai 15, 2027
Floating Sculptures on Swiss Lakes
Imagine standing on the shore of a Swiss lake. Mountains rise in the distance, boats drift across the water — and suddenly, a monumental sculpture appears above the surface.
Welcome to Swiss Lakes Floating Sculptures, a digital art experience connecting nine Swiss lakes through nine unique augmented-reality sculptures.
Created by Swiss artist Sarah Montani X Swissdiscover.com, each sculpture is geolocated and can be discovered at its designated lake.
The works hover above the water, defy gravity and transform familiar landscapes into open-air galleries.
No museum walls. No sculpture foundations. No app download.
Simply visit swissdiscover.com on your smartphone, go to one of the participating locations and let the artwork appear within the real landscape. Walk around it, explore it from different perspectives and capture your own photographs and videos.
Nine lakes. Nine sculptures. One digital journey through Switzerland.
From alpine panoramas to palm-lined promenades, every location creates a different encounter between art, technology and nature. Each sculpture responds visually to its surroundings, turning the lake, the sky and the shoreline into part of the artwork.
Discover the sculptures at:
Lake Geneva · Lake Neuchâtel · Lake Thun · Lake Lucerne · Lake Zug · Lake Zurich · Lake Constance · Lake Lugano · Lake Maggiore
How it works

Art that leaves no physical footprint

The result is a new kind of exhibition: site-specific, interactive, sustainable and accessible directly through your smartphone.
