Partnership with Swiss hiking trails
Sharing a common path
Hiking is the Swiss people’s number one sport. More than 65,000 kilometres of uniformly signposted and well-maintained hiking trails offer access to Switzerland’s most beautiful landscapes and connect its communities with each other. Swiss Post’s commitment as the main partner of Swiss hiking trails allows it to support the implementation of projects that help to encourage hiking as a sport, while at the same time remaining committed to creating attractive activities and platforms for the Swiss people – particularly for families. Swiss Post enables unforgettable hiking experiences for families and accompanies them on their individual path to their destination.

Museum of Communication
A communication adventure with bonfires, smartphones and cyborgs
The Museum of Communication in Berne is the only museum in Switzerland devoted exclusively to communication and its history. In its exhibitions and activities, the Museum of Communication focuses on the societal and cultural impact of communication and related technologies. Visitors are encouraged to get actively involved and reflect on what they see thanks to the interactive stations, surprising exhibits and big screens. The story of Swiss Post is also told through thousands of objects. What’s more, the museum holds one of the world’s biggest and most valuable collections of Swiss and international postage stamps.
The Swiss Foundation of Post and Telecommunications History is the entity behind the Museum of Communication. In 1999, the foundation was mandated by Swiss Post Ltd and Swisscom AG to administer the PTT History Archive and Library. Since then the PTT Archive has been managed by the Museum of Communication.

FUTURE SOCIETY ASSOCIATION
Shaping a highly dynamic world requires the systematic, early identification of future framework conditions. This does not, however, merely involve analysing technological progress, but also requires anticipating future societal challenges. The FUTURE SOCIETY ASSOCIATION (FSA) is a project of the W.I.R.E. think tank which, for more than 12 years, has taken a systematic, open and critical approach to shaping the future, operating in an independent and apolitical manner at the interface between science and practice.
