Overview
Switzerland has far more to offer than the cuckoo clock. Many travellers believe the famous Swiss neutrality is exactly what they’ll feel if they travel here. But those that come are delighted by the combination of French, Italian and German cultures with a uniqueness of its own. The museums and mountains, castles and forests, tidy towns and raging waterfalls make this a refreshing country to visit.
Being dominated by some of Europe’s highest peaks defines Switzerland’s weather. With a Mediterranean climate in the far south, cooler weather elsewhere and year-round snow on the mountains, there will always be an outdoor activity for you to try.
