Switzerland held a national pre selection to choose the two songs that would go to the Eurovision Song Contest 1956. It was held on April 28, 1956.
"Das alte Karussell" and "Refrains" won the national pre selection, and "Refrain" went on to win the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest. The result of "Das alte Karussell", as well as the scores and placings of the other songs, wasn't declared and remained unknown.
Both of the Swiss entries were conducted at the contest by the musical director Fernando Paggi.
