Born in 1986 in the heart of the swiss Alps, Sven Wassmer has been fascinated by the mountains around him since childhood and has drawn inspiration for his career from them. After completing his training, he honed his style in top eateries, working with the celebrated Andreas Caminada at Schloss Schauenstein. This experience allowed him to shape a cuisine based on purity of taste and quality ingredients.

In 2015, 7132 Silver in Vals was awarded two Michelin stars and 18 Gault Millau points, the place where his original vision took shape. In 2019, he began a new chapter with the opening of Memories at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, offering alpine and contemporary cuisine that quickly attracted critical attention.
