Irish songwriter Shirley Grimes has lived and performed in Switzerland for 16 years. Lately her band was chosen as the support act for Van Morrison: a real honour. Van Morrison is known for being very selective about who plays on the stage before him. (swissinfo, Raffaella Rossello)

The hill known as La Mutta in the eastern canton of Graubünden is said to harness strong forces. Its 30 monoliths once made it a heathen place of worship and people have been making pilgrimages here for thousands of years. The Christians were aware of the area's special powers, and built a church here to try to suppress the heathen culture. (The Mysterious Switzerland series is produced by SRG SSR idée suisse.)
