Set on the gently rolling Swiss Plateau, the municipality lies north of the Thur valley, with the Appenzell Alps farther to the southeast. Bühler was founded in Uzwil in 1860 and has grown into an international specialist in technologies for food, feed and advanced materials, giving the town a distinctly industrial and innovative identity.

Built around the former Abbey of St Gall and the territories once linked to it, Sankt Gallen developed into a varied eastern Swiss canton. In southern Toggenburg, the upper Thur Valley is framed by pastureland and the rugged Alpstein and Churfirsten ranges, giving this part of the canton a distinctly alpine character. Farther north, the landscape opens towards the Lake Constance basin and the city of St. Gallen. Its Abbey District, including the celebrated library, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and recalls the region’s importance as a medieval centre of learning.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
