Swiss Alpine Museum

Legacies or bequests

Would you like to include the ALPS in your will? A legacy or inheritance gives you the opportunity to create meaning beyond your own life. This is exemplified by the experiences of Peter Hofmann and Hans Stark.

"Through his legacy to the ALPS Swiss Alpine Museum, our friend was able to leave something important to the mountain world. He wanted to make a lasting gesture beyond his lifetime. As friends and companions of the testator, we are impressed by his foresight. Thanks to his legacy, ALPS was able to fund a unique exhibition project."

With a will, you can create clarity—for yourself and your loved ones. It also gives you the opportunity to support a cultural institution like ALPS and create meaning beyond your lifetime. With a legacy or inheritance for ALPS, you support our work and enable us to continue addressing current mountain-related issues.

Your passion for the mountains is in good hands with ALPS! Please get in touch with us. We will be happy to personally advise you on wills, inheritances, and legacies, and show you collaboration possibilities.
