Switzerland is a country of blossom-covered mountains, delicious chocolate, timepiece making and a welcoming population. During the summer months, the Swiss Alps are the playground for hill walkers and mountaineers enjoying the pleasant, often challenging, terrain. Switzerland is landlocked & is sometimes overlooked as a holiday destination but for the adventurous that take the chance, it is an amazing country to visit. The capital city Berne, located in the Schweizer Mittelland, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tall spires, narrow streets with shaded, tree-lined, squares, cafes and market stalls are just part of the charm. Explore bustling Geneva before driving along the shores of Lake Geneva for an escape to the countryside. Stop over at Lausanne for excellent summer festivals and shows and even a cruise on the lake. St-Prex is a quiet medieval town perfect for visitors looking for a relaxing atmosphere along the lakeshore. Alpine towns of Château-d'Oex and Rougemont have top class facilities for outdoors activities including hiking, hang-gliding and even hot air ballooning over the hills and peaks. Basel is a culturally rich city filled with museums, theatres as well as being the meeting point of Germany, France and Switzerland. Enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Zürich where late night (early morning) clubs, an historic old town centre and lakeside green spaces make it a city for all tastes. Time keeping means more in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the historical birthplace of the watch-making industry. Switzerland is a great destination for people seeking a good time and a rejuvenating holiday. The crystal clear air, unspoilt countryside and great spa/health facilities make Switzerland the destination for well-being and relaxation.
