OVERVIEW

ALPA Web Transition Page

__

Now ".ch" becomes ".swiss" - ALPA of Switzerland with a new Web Presence
‍
The link you used seems to be from the old web presence. This address is no longer valid, and we have taken the liberty to redirect you here. We have put together an overview for you to find your way around our new site.
‍
The base language of the website is English. We offer the complete web presence dynamically machine translated into nine other languages as a service to you. These are German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. These translations may not always be perfect, but we want to promote a better understanding.

Therefore: alpa.ch is now alpa.swiss

Micro Navigation

We experiment with improved usability. For example, a non-interfering element is placed on each page, which, when activated, directly navigates to the page header, which can call the homepage at any time, can navigate to the support page from any position, opens the booking page for appointments or jumps to the foot navigation in one click.

And we leave this micro-navigation turned on for mobile devices as well. It has never been easier to scroll back long pages.
