India, Dec 2014 The most colourful of Christmas trees year after year in the widest variety of designs and laden with generous gifts: On 22nd December 2014 in Badrutt’s Palace Hotel 20 fabulous trees, each decorated by a different sponsor, will be auctioned by Christie’s in aid of  local charities at the ›16th Christmas Tree Auction‹.

Charity shouldn’t miss out: this is not only the belief of Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, but also one shared by brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Bulgari, Chopard, de Grisogono, Gübelin, La Prairie, Remida Tornaghi, Swarovski and many more. They are all contributing an exquisite Christmas tree to the exclusive Charity Auction. The proceeds which last year exceeded SFr 87,000 are equally distributed between locally based Engadin organisations Avegnir, Ufficina, Kinderkrippe Engadin and the St. Moritz Blind Ski School.   ›16th Christmas Tree Auction‹ in Badrutt’s Palace Hotel Programme: 18.30 pm cocktail in ›Le Grand Hall‹ & presentation of the Christmas Trees 19.30 pm auction by Christie’s in the ›Embassy Ballroom‹ 20.30 pm gala dinner & tombola in ›Le Relais‹   Committee members: Prof. Dr. Dirk Boll, Olivier Echaudemaison, Jürg und Raquel Marquard, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, Herzogin Pozzo di Borgo, Dr. Ellen Ringier, Nadja Swarovski, Hans and Martha Wiedemann Compere: Bianca Gubser Event  Organisation: Extra-Vagance Switzerland   For more information and reservations go to jlinke@badruttspalace.com   Press Accreditation on request via pr@badruttspalace.com
