List of islands of Switzerland


This is a list of islands of Switzerland. Switzerland is a landlocked country, hence all Swiss islands are located in lakes or rivers. This list also includes islands in artificial lakes. In these cases, the water levels may drop by a few metres at some periods of the year, thereby turning some islands into peninsulas.
