Switzerland: Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region
Score: 76

"The region is stunning. The site has high natural integrity and little development. There is very tasteful development in areas around the World Heritage site—highly controlled. Options are available for both outdoor enthusiast and armchair travelers. Benefits are going directly to the local people and there is major support from the local communities."

"This region benefits from an outstanding landscape. Unfortunately, global warming will severely affect this area."

"Regression of the Eiger glaciers will become a threat to the landscape integrity."

"Always nice to visit.Great hiking trails in season, and skiing in winter.There's something for everyone, and great scenery.Developed for tourism, its main industry."

"There is spectacular beauty in this region. The very efficient electric train system plays a major role in limiting the impact of growing visitation numbers, and helps to maintain the integrity of car-less towns like Wengen."
