MountainBytes 2025 is over, and after a bit of recovery we can officially say: we couldn’t be happier! We were excited to welcome 120 demosceners from Switzerland and all over the world to our event – some even from as far as Hongkong!
What an amazing weekend – some of our biggest surprises were beside the many, many visitors (thank you!!), a shoutout on our national radio, an all-Swiss Alternative & Oldschool-Competition (welcome back, sleeping beauties, and welcome new tinkerers!), amazing releases from groups we ourselves have been fawning over for decades, and, most amazing of all: 13 newcomer entries thanks to our integrated DemoLab workshop!

We are already putting our heads together for next year – mark February 27th – March 1st 2026 in your calendars, and make a note of our new (interim?) location a few kilometers from the Lorzensaal!
Editor’s note: We are right now working on an update of our hosting and infrastructure- as well as collaboration spaces for Echtzeit, so we hope to be able to provide you with links to the party pictures soon!
