Bruno Doerig, CEO of the Appenzeller Kan-tonalbank, Switzerland's smallest cantonal bank, lunches regularly at his favorite restaurant, in the Romantik Hotel Saentis.

Beyond the medieval belfries and gabled town houses, a snug landscape of neat farms and green hills rises up to the majestic, snowy Alps. It can tempt even a foreigner to yodel. But looking up from his veal cutlet, Doerig suddenly becomes somber. A few tables away sits a businessman on whose property the banker was forced to foreclose.
