US EditionSwiss 'Mountain Tinder' Sparks High-Altitude Attraction
SWITZERLAND, AUG 5 – Mountain Tinder notebooks placed on Swiss peaks have helped create several couples by connecting hikers who share a love of nature and physical activity, founder Monney said.
- In 2023, Thibaud Monney created Mountain Tinder, placing notebooks on seven Fribourg peaks for people to leave dating messages at the summit.
- He developed the idea because he disliked choosing partners by swiping on pictures and wanted a system filtering for shared love of nature.
- Participants climb demanding trails like Wandflue or La Vudalla to leave or read notes, with notebooks housed in metal letterboxes on wooden crosses.
- Monney described the concept as straightforward and expressed pride in hearing success stories from several couples who met through the initiative.
- The project implies that reaching a peak signals compatible interests and fitness, offering an analogue alternative to online dating that has spread beyond Switzerland to Argentina.
