Isn’t it officially Bern?
Officially, they don't have one
Switzerland doesn't have a capital.
Bern is de facto the capital, meaning going by the fact that most of the government is located in Bern.
The Parliament and the Federal Counsel are seated in Bern, but the Federal Tribunal (Supreme Court) is in Lausanne.
There are some other federal institutions in other places, including Bellinzona and Luzern.
