WoW Gstaad
Literary Evenings
(World of Words)
Intimate nights of stories, ideas, and connection.
After many successful editions of WoW (World of Words) Gstaad in the Swiss Alps, we are bringing the festival’s spirit closer to you. Every two/three months, WoW will host an exclusive literary evening in a hidden treasure location, from hotel bars and museums to schools and cultural landmarks.
The Concept
Each evening features one author sharing their world through:
A 30-minute talk or masterclass on their book or a chosen theme
A 10-minute interactive Q&A with the audience
A networking & book signing session (where venue allows), with a welcome drink included
The entire event lasts around 90 minutes, designed to be inspiring, intimate, and easy to enjoy.

A WoW Gstaad Literary Evening

Date: Friday, 27 February 2026 | 17:30–19:30
Join us for the first WoW Gstaad Literary Evening of the year, an intimate gathering celebrating conversation, creativity, and community.
In Conversation with Kyra Dupont Troubetzkoy
Acclaimed journalist and novelist Kyra Dupont Troubetzkoy will sit down with Andrea von Siebenthal for an engaging discussion around her latest novel, La disparue de Cordoba. Together, they will explore the role of authors in modern society, the inspiration behind Kyra’s writing, and the evolving space of women in literature.
This evening invites you to reflect on how writers shape, challenge, and imagine the world around us.
The event will open with a short teaser of WoW Gstaad Summer 2025, including ticket details for the 2026 edition.
