Insta360 × Swatch Nines 2025: A Celebration of Creativity and Action

The world's most creative action sports playground returned this April as Swatch Nines 2025 took over the slopes of Schilthorn—and Insta360 was there to capture all the action in ways that weren't possible before.

This year's event continued the tradition of pushing the limits of what's possible, blending world-class talent, exceptional course design, and a spirit of unfiltered creativity. No podiums, no medals—just raw energy and expressive freedom that define the heart of action sports culture.

As the official camera brand on-site, Insta360 worked alongside riders, creators, and the Swatch Nines media crew to capture every moment in never-before-seen 360°. The result? Nothing short of spectacular.

Creativity Captured in Every Direction

Armed with 8K cameras like Insta360 X4 and Insta360 Ace Pro 2, riders were free to push their creative boundaries without worrying about the gear. Whether soaring through the sky, carving lines, or linking trick combos, they captured their story from all angles with complete freedom.

Thanks to Insta360's industry-defining features like FlowState Stabilization and the Invisible Selfie Stick effect, riders were able to get footage that would've been impossible with any other camera brand—making it easier than ever to capture both the action and the atmosphere.
