Why Does Switzerland Only Have One National Park?

Switzerland is renowned for its spectacular Alpine landscapes, yet it is home to only one national park. What does this reveal about our relationship with wild nature, and how much space are we truly willing to grant it in the future?

Join us for an inspiring morning of stories, films, and critical dialogue on conservation, rewilding, tourism, and outdoor recreation. Featuring insights from Patagonia ambassador Sofie Paulus (fresh from Chile’s pristine Cochamó Valley), Sebastian Moos (Forum Wildnis Schweiz), Maren Kern (Mountain Wilderness Switzerland), and Timo Rhyner (Greina Foundation), we’ll explore what Switzerland can learn from iconic wild landscapes around the world.
