History
editThe tournament was first played in 1988 and then again in 1989 near St. Moritz, and between 1990 and 1997 near Geneva.[2] In 1990, Evelyn Orley became the first Swiss national to win the tournament.[3]
Between 2006 and 2012, Deutsche Bank was the title sponsor, and it was played in the district of Locarno in the canton of Ticino.[4]
After an eight-year hiatus it returned to the LET schedule again in 2020, this time near Zug and with Liechtenstein-based VP Bank as title sponsor.[5]
