Overview

Switzerland is teeming with activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, and skiing. It is an ideal location for a road trip or even to view by the window of a train, since the railway system is reliable and often just as picturesque. Take the opportunity to explore skiing from the Zermatt Ski Resort, one of the highest in the world, or hike the numerous trails that wind through the Swiss Alps. Aside from the outdoor activities, Switzerland is also known for its cheese, chocolate, and fondue. There are also several unique festivals throughout the year, honoring the culture and history of this uniquely breathtaking country.
