Intro

Professional footballers and close friends Lia Wälti and Ana-Maria Crnogorčević are big fans of the canton of Bern and city of Thun. Together, they present their personal highlights and favourite activities from the place they grew up in. The canton of Bern is the only canton with two UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 venues in Switzerland, and it offers many exciting experiences away off the pitch too.

About Lia and Ana

Two women. Two cities. One passion. Lia Wälti from the Swiss capital of Bern and Ana-Maria Crnogorčević from the neighbouring city of Thun share not only their love of football, but also a love for the canton of Bern and city of Thun. Both on and off the pitch, the two players share a friendship that is just as strong as their connection to the place they grew up in.

About Lia

For Lia Wälti, Bern is where she thinks of as home. The quiet nature of the city is also reflected in her personality. Bern inspires with its old town, arcades and the impressive views from its Rose Garden. The Swiss capital, encircled by the River Aare, combines a relaxed lifestyle with cultural diversity and historical significance.

I feel at home in Bern and always enjoy coming back here.
