The Swiss pine () is a montane tree in Central Europe and, therefore, known for its hardiness against severe winter colds. The seeds are harvested and eaten as pine nuts. We assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of to serve as a valuable resource in future genetic studies. The complete plastome sequence is 116,609 bp in length and contains 113 genes including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis of 34 plastome sequences shows that is the nearest relative to and that there is a distinct clustering together with the other members of the section Quinquefoliae.
