Overview
Intro
Travel: Children – Culture – Sound
Brig-Glis will receive the Wakker Prize in 2026 because the municipality not only preserves its architectural and cultural heritage but also actively and boldly builds upon it. Historic buildings, modern uses, high-quality architecture, and a thoughtful approach to public space demonstrate how history, the present, and the future can be meaningfully connected. The Stockalper Palace embodies this sustainable strategy of mindful stewardship.
