Accessibility statement


Date of statement: September 1, 2025

Applies to: https://berninastores.ch


We are committed to making our website accessible in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) and the requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, implemented based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Conformance Level AA.


Current state of compliance with requirements

The majority of the page content is accessible. Non-accessible content is listed below.


Non-accessible content

The following content is not fully accessible:

1. Colors and contrast

  • The current light blue color, when combined with white text or a white background, does not meet accessibility contrast requirements.


2. Heading structure

  • On several pages, heading levels are skipped or contain no content.
  • The homepage is also missing an H1 heading.


3. Alternative text for images

  • Several images, including linked images, do not have alternative text. These will be added gradually.


4. ARIA references

  • In the product grids with filter options, the “aria-labelledby” attribute is currently incorrect.
  • Since the referenced ID is missing, screen readers cannot correctly associate the content.


5. PDF documents

  • Currently, no PDFs are accessible.


Accessibility evaluation

This statement was created based on self-assessments, automated testing tools (e.g., WAVE, axe), and manual reviews.
