Introduction

The iconic natural beauty of Switzerland’s mountains and mirror-clear lakes is legendary. Hike and gaze upon the Matterhorn and the Swiss Alps. Feel the inspiration of Europe’s highest and largest waterfalls. Ride cable cars or cog railways to Switzerland’s peaks. Choose from skis or snowshoes to play in the winter wonderland. Share the day’s pleasures over fondue made of cheese from iconic Swiss cows. Although not a sizeable country by area, Switzerland is huge in terms of diversity. Cultural influences in regards to landscapes, languages, customs, and cuisines abound in the Italian, French, German and Roman parts of Switzerland. From rustic countryside to cosmopolitan cities, sample Europe’s cultural variety in Switzerland without an extended trip across the continent.
