Tschugger ("Cops" in Walser German) is a Swiss police comedy television series that aired in 2021 on Swiss television, which produced it together with Sky Switzerland. Set in the mountainous canton of Valais, it follows police officers Bax (director David Constantin) and Pirmin (Dragan Vujic) as they investigate a series of unusual crimes with often less than professional methods.

The cast speak Walser German, a variety of Swiss German so difficult to understand by non-locals that the dialogue is subtitled in Standard German.

Tschugger was an exceptional ratings success for Swiss television. Even though (or because) it played on Swiss stereotypes of the Valaisans as "raclette-munching drunkards" or "primitive idiots"
