The 2010s marked explosive growth: Schnupf, Schnaps + Edelwyss in 2014 went multi-platinum, followed by arena-filling concerts and collaborations with Swiss heavyweights.

Trauffer co-founded the Trauffer Erlebniswelt in Hofstetten bei Brienz—a playful visitor center blending toy production tours, dining, and the boutique Bretterhotel—merging showmanship with business acumen.

Hits kept coming with Heimat (2016) and Gloria (2019), while Swiss Music Awards for Best Male Solo Act and a Prix Walo nod cemented his status as dialect-pop royalty.

Marc A. Trauffer balances sold-out live spectacles with hands-on oversight of the family empire, releasing new music that tops Schweizer Hitparade charts and draws cross-generational crowds.

His entrepreneurial flair shines in the Erlebniswelt’s expansion into events and merchandise, while philanthropy tied to alpine culture quietly extends his reach.
