The Miss Switzerland 2009 pageant was held on September 26, 2008. There were 16 candidates representing the cantons of the country that were competing for the national crown. The winner will enter in Miss Universe 2009 and Miss World 2009. Not all the contestants came from the canton they were originally from.

Whitney, who is the daughter of an American father, stands 177 cm and will represent Switzerland in Miss Universe 2009. Switzerland stopped sending representatives to Miss World in 2005, and it is unknown if the alpine country will return to it in 2008.
