UNESCO World Heritage
Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch: The UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most spectacular high mountain landscapes in the world.
Briefly explained
Diversity worth protecting
The UNESCO World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch covers an area of 824 km2. 85 percent of the area lies at an altitude of over 2000 m above sea level. The World Heritage label is the highest distinction awarded to a natural landscape - but at the same time also an obligation to preserve it for the next generation.
Hiking
