Duration: 2 hours
2 Activities
The World Nature Forum has a very diverse range of themes. You will not only see glaciers and rocks, but also typical plants and animals, including insects and butterflies. Other topics include water and climate change in the Alps.
Several interactive exhibitions involve you directly in what is happening in the Alps and exciting films provide answers to many other questions. You also have the opportunity to discover the World Nature Forum on a private guided tour.
A ball track system adds an extra touch of fun to the exhibitions. Every young visitor receives a small ball at the entrance.
The interactive components of the exhibitions involve you directly in what is happening. In this way, you can engage creatively and intensively with what is on display.
You will find these interactive stations:
In the virtual sandbox, you can create mountains and rivers and shape your very own landscapes. Another station lets you recreate the landscapes of the Alps. The tectonic shifting of the continents is simulated on the screen, depending on how you turn the crank.
The legend grotto is specially designed for children and tells legendary stories about the forces of nature. In the dialect gondola, you can interactively learn about the dialects in the World Heritage Site. You sit in a gondola of the Grindelwald First cable car so that you can hear the dialects undisturbed.
The panorama cinema at the World Nature Forum presents exciting films about central questions regarding the UNESCO World Heritage Site on a stunning 100 m² area.
For example, the following topics are covered:
The Ambassador Car of the Jungfrau Railways made its maiden journey to Jungfraujoch in 1912. It is a special highlight here in the museum. While seated in the car, you have the opportunity to visually experience a journey from the south to Jungfraujoch. Although this trip was planned, it was never realized.
Special exhibitions on changing themes relating to the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site show, for example, the use and way of life of insects or the completion of the "Eiger Ultra Trail", which is held every year at different distances.
An earlier special exhibition simulated the effects of global warming by an average of 2 degrees. Each adult was given VR goggles and traveled several centuries on the Aletsch Glacier.
The World Nature Forum is open every day from 10:00 to 17:00, except on Mondays. It is also closed on certain public holidays (e.g. December 25 and January 1).
You will find the World Nature Forum in Naters next to Brig, not far from the train station.
You can reach the train station in Brig by train from Bern via Thun, Spiez and Visp in about 1:15 hours. From the station, it is only a 5-minute walk to the World Nature Forum. You can also take the local bus line 1. It takes one minute from Brig station square to the "Aletsch Campus" stop.
You can reach the World Nature Forum by car from Bern via the A6 in about 2:15 hours. The public parking garage "Aletsch Campus" on Kehrstrasse is at your disposal. The parking garage is located in the basement of the exhibition.
At the World Nature Forum, you have the wonderfully designed opportunity to discover, explore and learn to appreciate a unique and diverse natural and cultural landscape of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site.
