Alpine Museum of Switzerland
About

The Alpine Museum of Switzerland, known as ALPS, is a dynamic cultural venue in Bern dedicated to the relationship between people and mountains. Located at Helvetiaplatz, the museum explores themes such as climate change, tourism, and alpine identity through thought-provoking exhibitions and interactive installations. Its main exhibition, “Greenland. Everything Changes,” offers a powerful look at environmental transformation and indigenous perspectives. Visitors can also explore the “Lost and Found Memories Office,” which delves into sustainability and repair culture in mountain sports. ALPS is more than a museum—it’s a platform for dialogue, hosting events, workshops, and collaborations across disciplines. The museum’s architecture blends tradition with modernity, and its on-site restaurant, Las alps, serves seasonal dishes in a cozy setting. As part of Bern’s Museum Quarter, ALPS invites guests to reflect on the future of alpine regions while enjoying a rich cultural experience.
