The operator of the Pischa restaurant in Davos has been convicted of racial discrimination for refusing to rent sleds to Jewish customers.

This decision came after a controversial notice was posted in Hebrew, stating that due to various incidents, including sled thefts, the rental service would no longer be available to Jewish guests.

The Graubünden public prosecutor confirmed that the operator received a conditional fine and a penalty for violating Swiss law against discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or religion.

The case sparked nationwide outrage and discussions about discrimination in Switzerland.

Following the backlash, the operator apologized, admitting the notice was poorly worded, and allowed Jewish customers to rent sleds again the next day.

The incident has raised significant concerns about the treatment of Jewish tourists in the region.
