Switzerland ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 17 September 1975. Its inscribed sites include both cultural and natural properties.
Cultural nominations often highlight medieval urban centres, monastic complexes, modernist town planning (such as watchmaking settlements), and prehistoric archaeological sites like Alpine pile dwellings. Natural listings feature alpine glaciated landscapes, tectonic arenas, fossil-rich mountains, and primeval beech forests.
