Nature parks in Switzerland
Nature parks in Switzerland are 18 protected areas in Switzerland. There are national parks, regional nature parks, and nature experience parks. These parks are marked as "parks of national importance" by the Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage.[1]
National parks and nature experience parks have strict rules, unlike regional nature parks. Regional parks aim to balance saving nature and supporting the local economy.
One National park in Switzerland is Swiss National Park.
