Switzerland

Famous for its stunning snowy white peaks and large dazzling lakes, Switzerland was the very first place people skied for fun. This beautiful country is renowned for its clockwork precision, cheese, chocolates and incredible alpine scenery. Switzerland also has some of Europe’s finest churches, with the cathedrals of Lausanne and Bern, the abbey of St Gallen and the frescos of Müstair attracting tourists from all over the world. There’s a lot more to the country than skiing and Swiss watches too, so make time to take a stroll over the covered bridge in Lucerne, splash in the sparkling fountains of Neuchâtel, enjoy exquisitely tasty cheese in Gruyères and visit the modern financial city of Zurich, which embodies the dynamism of this enchanting country more than any other place in Switzerland.
