Overview

Switzerland

Switzerland, a real neighbour? Not quite sure. You can visit it in summer or winter and feel as though you are visiting a completely different destination each time. Remember that French is only spoken in French-speaking Swiss cantons. Geneva is a human-scale city built on the edge of Lake Leman, where you can recharge your batteries right in the centre of the city in a harmonious and enjoyable environment. Go and treat yourself to chocolate or good raclette and a little glass of local wine. Then head for Zurich, making a short stopover in Ticino: You'll enjoy the country!

pros

  •  Enjoy winter sports with the quality of Alpine and cross-country skiing, and charming resort stations.
  •  The pleasure of the mountains in the summer, in a well preserved natural environment and a wide range of activities.
  •  The starry-eyed beauty of the great lakes, whose charm will fascinate solitary or accompanied hikers.
  •  The promise of a peaceful and relaxed vacation without hitches or bad surprises.

cons

  •  Living costs are extremely high, due to Switzerland's hard currency, extremely high salaries compared to other European countries and also its tradition of luxury tourism.
  •  Switzerland is a highly conservative country, less open to foreigners, its people showing little warmth and spontaneity.

Switzerland Switzerland, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Clean and ecological, Switzerland is genuinely the ideal destination not only for lovers of nature and tranquility, but also of sports (sailing, golf, paragliding, rafting, etc...). Besides skiing in winter, cycling and mountain biking in the summer are becomming ever more popular. Most tourism offices on the plains or mountains offer small maps and plans, or even signposted routes. You will find superb bicycles for hire in almost all CFF train stations, and these can easily be carried onto the trains. It would therefore be a shame to deprive oneself of this friendly and comfortable means of movement. As for Trek freaks, they will find some 31070 miles of perfectly-groomed roads and paths running to different villages via farms and woods, running through mountain tops, vineyards and lake shores.
