Was wäre es in der Schweiz?
Hard to say without being able to post pics.
That said, Aleksandar Dragović patting Ueli Maurer’s dome.
Depends which way you want to go really. Here’s a few:

But also you could go with images showing the glaciers being destroyed. Like this [one between 2004 and 2014](https://energeiaplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Blog_Hydropower-1.png)
The portrait of Henri Guisan.

One of the 10000000 views of the Matterhorn.

Le jet d’eau de Genève? (Geneva water fountain).
It’s known world wide. People immediately associate the picture to Switzerland, like La Tour Eiffel is iconic of Paris and thus of France.
I find it interesting how this photo is so emblematic despite the fact that it was staged and excluded the people who actually raised the flag the first time round. And that the worst of the fighting on Iwo Jima was still to come (3 of the 6 on the photo were killed later on). I don’t know whether that makes it a better or worse representation of the war.
I guess Switzerland needs some staged photo of a second ascent of the Matterhorn or something
