World class treasures in Switzerland
Switzerland brings together cultural and natural assets that are so unique that they have been protected by UNESCO. Be it the Old City of Bern, the Vineyard Terraces of Lavaux, the Aletsch Glacier or Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes – each of these sites tells its own story and makes Switzerland a country full of wonders of the world. Together with other partners, the World Heritage Experience Switzerland initiative shows just how diverse and tangible these cultural treasures are.

Guardians of Peace
Some things are so precious that the whole of humanity must watch over them: unique cities, landscapes, cultural assets – and peace. “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.” – Guiding principle of UNESCO since 1945.
Switzerland is contributing to this with its UNESCO World Heritage sites: from the Old City of Bern through the Aletsch Glacier to Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes. Each of these World Heritage sites is a world-class treasure – and an invitation to discover and preserve it.
