Switzerland has many attractions to offer, but these four have made it into the new stamp series:
CHF 1.00: The Geneva Water Fountain (Jet d’eau), a feature created out of necessity that became a landmark. This is suitable for 2nd class postage (courier B).
CHF 1.20: The appealing and often photographed Landwasser Viaduct over the Landwasser Valley. This is suitable for 1st class postage (courier A).
CHF 1.90: The Rigi and its spa resort region, which once had a mobile letter box. This is suitable for postage to letters outside of Switzerland within Europe.
CHF 2.50: Zermatt’s all-year-around ski resort, where winter sports stars and fans can enjoy themselves on the snow in summer. This is suitable for 1st class postage on A4 size enveloppes for Switzerland as well as international letters up to 20g.

Overprint stamps with new tariff
Deja vu? That's right, because the two stamps depicting Lucerne and Brigue railway stations were originally issued in 2016, as part of the ordinary Swiss railway station stamp series. As not all were sold, and the postage value subsequently changed, the remaining copies were shelved. But that's not the end of their existence: Swiss Post decided to give them a second chance by superimposing the new postage values.
Congratulations - Thanks - Comfort
Whether you want to express congratulations or sympathy, there are always moments in life that call for a letter. A new series of stamps for special events is issued every few years. This time, the series comprises three special stamps on the topics of Congratulations, Comfort, and Thanks.
They are designed to be modern, expressive and yet neutral, so that you’re bound to find the right stamp for every occasion. The key feature of the new stamp series is the hand, which is combined on each of the stamps with a symbol conveying the relevant emotion before the reader has even opened the envelope.
Supplementing older stamps
To provide anyone who still has older stamps (85, 90, 100, 110, 130, 180), Swiss Post has issued three supplementary values. Their design is wonderfully simple. When the designer’s task is to symbolize the values of 5, 10 and 20 centimes, what could be more appropriate than depicting the relevant Swiss coins? Just put one of these to supplement your older stamps to reach the correct amount.
Remember that the confetti stamps could also be use in conjunction with older stamps to make up the difference.
