Switzerland is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It has borders with France to the west, Italy to the south, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east and Germany to the north.
Switzerland was founded more than 700 years ago. Long years of peace have left their mark on our heritage, history and culture.
The Swiss are a friendly and hospitable people, though somewhat reserved at times. Life in the towns and cities is secure. The Swiss share an independent spirit, a respect for tradition and no fewer than four languages and dozens of dialects. The Swiss love for partying isn't yet widely known. But the seasons are marked by traditional festivals and popular pageants.
Every major Swiss city honours its own symphony, opera or theatre, where acclaimed international artists appear. Smaller towns and villages prize their chamber groups or quartets. The Bern, Willisau and Montreux Jazz Festivals rival in recognition with the classical music events of Lucerne and Gstaad, to name just a few.
About 700 museums round out a rich cultural life. You'll find outstanding, internationally acclaimed art collections and specialized museums for every interest. Today scores of medieval castles and venerable mansions are open for a look around. Some house superb museums, other wonderful restaurants. Churches, monasteries and abbey libraries hold precious legacies of the ages.
Switzerland offers the ideal holiday destination for those who like to be active on holiday and enjoy new adventures.
Switzerlands beautiful landsacpe makes it a top destination for hikers. To carelessly pass by wine cellars and traditional pubs would be a crime. After all, those who want to experience the scenery with all the senses should also taste it. And after a glass of Chasselas the dynamic uphills and downhills of the trail to Lutry are twice as much fun
In the winter months why not take to the slopes, whether your an experieneces skiier or trying it out for the first time. Skiing is not the only sport you can enjoy, why not try out snowtubing, air board or snow kiting which are just some examples of the many activities on offer.
