Experience World Heritage at the WNF Visitor Centre

At the World Nature Forum in Naters, you can explore the Unesco World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch in an interactive way. Films, experience stations and modern technology show how the Alps were formed, how they are changing and what challenges climate change brings.

The most modern Alpine museum in Naters

Across two floors, the visitor centre presents the diversity of the World Heritage Site through interactive exhibits, a panoramic cinema and various experience stations. Highlights include a digital sandbox, Unescopedia, a Jungfrau Railway gondola and a varied flora and fauna landscape. There is also plenty for families to discover: numerous stations invite visitors to participate and try things out, making the exhibition engaging for both children and adults.

From Bern, you can reach Naters by public transport in less than 75 minutes. 

No one too small to be an explorer

The visitor centre of the Unesco World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch is an exciting destination for all ages. The varied exhibits encourage visitors to interact and convey 824 square kilometres of World Heritage on two floors.

Diversity – in the area as well as in the exhibition

In addition to the digital sandbox, Unescopedia and the table debate, the highlights include a Jungfrau Railway Ambassador carriage, a gondola for the «Voice of World Heritage» dialect experience and a diverse flora and fauna landscape. In addition, there are goosebump moments in the Panorama Cinema, which transports guests to the unique natural landscape of the World Heritage Site with three fascinating films. Since the summer of 2026, the FTIR instrument, which was in operation on the Jungfraujoch for 35 years, has been providing fascinating insights into climate research.

Experience World Heritage

With the help of a cross-area POI system, visitors can collect their interests and have tips and hiking suggestions presented for their favourite excursion destinations. Our heritage's Points of Interest (POI) also include numerous destinations and hiking trails along the BLS mountain route. The journey with the BLS therefore already offers a World Heritage experience.
