Phänomena Spot App

The Phänomena Spot App invites you to explore Switzerland through natural phenomena, scientific questions, and innovation. On site, you discover why the Aletsch Glacier is melting, how thermal springs are formed, and how scientific developments shape our world. Real places become environments for learning and exploration, where knowledge can be experienced directly.

Across Switzerland, interactive knowledge trails lead to natural phenomena, technological developments, and scientific topics. Content is location-based and accessible where connections become visible — in natural landscapes, urban environments, or along thematic routes. Text, audio, video, and augmented reality elements offer different ways of engaging and deepen understanding step by step.

A central element of the app is its connection to the Phänomena On Tour Exhibition. Selected exhibits are complemented by in-depth content that explains background information, contextualizes experiments, and offers further perspectives. The app can be used before a visit for preparation, during the visit for deeper exploration, or afterwards to revisit and reflect on what was experienced.

Content for the Phänomena Spot App is developed in collaboration with scientists, experts, and partner institutions from research and education. The aim is to present complex topics in a well-founded, accessible, and understandable way — without requiring prior knowledge, while maintaining depth. The focus lies on context, clarity, and meaningful connections.

The app is suitable for individuals, families, school classes, or groups who wish to explore their surroundings more consciously and engage more deeply with nature and science. It can be used independently or as a complement to existing educational and leisure activities.
