Ministory 1: A landscape and culture both rich and multi-coloured
The small country of Switzerland
Switzerland boasts a wide variety of landscapes over a small area, featuring ranges of mountains and hills, as well as lakes and rivers. It is also a culturally diverse country, thanks to its central geographical location in Europe and the cultural exchange it enjoys with its neighbours, as is reflected in its different linguistic and cultural regions.

Ministory 2: Feeling connected to the Alps
The Alps are a sensitive indicator of the ecosystem as a whole. Their landscape provides a habitat of key ecological and cultural significance, with special climatic and natural environment features. The close proximity of the Alps can be felt everywhere in Switzerland, and the lives of the Swiss are closely linked to them. They form a part of Switzerland’s identity.

Ministory 3: A natural obstacle between North and South becomes a route linking the two
Switzerland is located at the heart of Europe and is characterised by the Alps, which stretch from West to East and are Europe’s biggest and highest mountains. The country plays a central role in transport over the Alps and is a key component in communication and links between northern and southern Europe.

Ministory 4: Each bird, each plant – all are cherished like rare treasures
Fully aware that their habitat is in short supply, Switzerland protects threatened species of plants and animals. To ensure that the rich diversity of species and habitats is preserved, researchers monitor plant and animal life in order to establish any changes.
