From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list includes twin towns/sister cites (Partnergemeinden, Partnerstädte, villes ou communes jumelles) of towns in Switzerland linked by a sister city agreement (Städtepartnerschaft or Gemeindepartnerschaft; jumelage de villes) or friendship agreements (Freundschaft or amitié).

A few municipalities participating in projects arranged by the Swiss organizations Patenschaft für Berggemeinden (Parrainage suisse pour communes de montagne) are included. The program arranges sponsorships of municipalities in the Swiss Alps by other Swiss municipalities.

The twinning may be a private initiative (e.g. between Zurich and San Francisco) or an initiative of the cities' authorities.

The list forms part of the larger list of twin towns and sister cities.
