Die Schweiz gliedert sich in drei geografische Zonen: Die Alpen mit einem Anteil von etwa 60% der Gesamtfläche der Schweiz, das Mittelland mit 30% und der Jura mit 10%.

Karte der Schweiz © swisstopo

Die Gesamtfläche der Schweiz beträgt 41'285 km2. Die Alpen, das Mittelland und der Jura bilden die drei grossen geographischen Räume der Schweiz.

Die Ausdehnung der Schweiz von Norden nach Süden beträgt 220 km und von Osten nach Westen 348 km.

Die Schweiz teilt ihre Landesgrenzen von insgesamt 1'882 km mit fünf Ländern: Italien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Österreich und Fürstentum Liechtenstein.

Der höchste Berggipfel, die Dufourspitze mit 4'634 M. ü. M. befindet sich im Monte Rosa-Massiv.

Der tiefst gelegene Punkt der Schweiz ist der Langensee mit 193 M. ü. M.

Das höchst gelegene Dorf der Schweiz ist Juf im Kanton Graubünden auf 2'126 M. ü. M.

7,5% der Gesamtfläche der Schweiz entfallen auf Siedlungsgebiete und Flächen für Gewerbe, Industrie, Verkehr, Versorgung und Entsorgung sowie Erholungs- und Grünanlagen, 35,9% auf Landwirtschaftsgebiete und 31,3% auf Wald und Gehölze.

Neue bestockte Flächen haben sich hauptsächlich auf nicht mehr bewirtschaftetem Alpwirtschaftsgebiet ausgebreitet.

Die Gletscher bedecken rund 1140 km2 der Schweiz. Zwischen 1985 und 2009 betrug der Gletscherschwund etwas mehr als 390 km2.

Etwa 20% des gesamten Alpenmassivs liegt in der Schweiz. Vier der wichtigsten Wasserläufe der Schweiz - Rhein, Rhone, Reuss und Tessin - haben ihr Quellgebiet im Gotthardmassiv.

In der Schweiz gibt es insgesamt etwa 1500 Seen.

Getting There

Public transport

Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, Intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travellers from Zurich have to change in Berne. The trains run every half hour.

Getting there

There are different ways to reach the region by car. The fastest way from Basel and Geneva is via Berne. The fastest route from Zurich is through Lucerne and the Brünig Pass. The pass is open in summer and winter.

From the south, the route goes over the Grimsel or Susten Pass into the region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, you can take the Simplon Pass and then Lötschberg car transport.

There are uncovered parking spaces on the Grimsel Pass.

Part of the Jungfrau Ski Region, the Mürren-Schilthorn winter sports area stretches out from 1600 to almost 3000 metres above sea level. Its altitude makes the area particularly snow sure, enabling winter sports operations in the upper Birg-Schilthorn section until the end of April.

An extensive network of some 50 kilometres of perfectly prepared pistes caters to all tastes and abilities:

The gentle descents near the Maulerhubel and Winteregg lifts for inexperienced skiers and snowboarders, the slopes in the Schiltgrat area for those seeking more of a challenge and the snow-sure and often-steep descents in the Birg-Schilthorn area for proficient piste enthusiasts.

The steepest ski slope is also located in this area:

Piste No. 9 - the aptly named Direttissima - is 400 metres long and boasts a gradient of 88 percent!

Travelling by public transport from Interlaken to the first descent at Winteregg takes just 45 minutes.
