About Switzerland
Switzerland sits at the very heart of Europe, where the Alps fold into one another in great waves of granite and ice. Villages of dark timber chalets cling to the slopes, their window boxes bright with geraniums even when snow dusts the peaks above. A cowbell's slow, hollow ring drifting across a high summer pasture is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in all of travel.
