ALPS Swiss Alpine Museum

Why go

The museum’s subject reaches from geology and glaciers to settlement, tourism and protection of the Alps. Its collection includes objects, photographs and raised-relief maps that make mountain terrain easier to understand. Current exhibitions can shift the emphasis, so the visit is as much about present questions as alpine history.

What to look for

• Exhibitions connect mountain life with tourism and environmental change.
• The museum’s holdings include raised-relief maps, photographs and alpine objects.

Useful to know

• Check the current exhibitions before deciding how much time to give the museum.
• Pair it with Bern History Museum for two different views of Swiss place and history.
