"L'enfant que j'étais" - Lys Assia

The Swiss Final was held on February 11th at a hotel in St Moritz, hosted by Heidi Abel & Giuseppe Albertini. The winner was chosen by a 40 member jury - 10 in the hotel and 10 each at 3 regional radio stations. There was a tie for 1st place between 3 songs, so only those 3 were voted on again to determine the winner.
