A world of aerial cable cars stunning blue lakes and mountain walks. You will be tempted by Swiss chocolate, cheese and super architecture. If you're on a budget make your own lunch. You are going to spend a lot whatever you do.

My mountains
During our European road trip we seen some wonderful things.One of the highlights was driving through the Swiss Alps.It is a wonderful destination. We went in the summer.There was still snow on the mountains.The villages are very picturesque.

Three languages are spoken -German, French, and Italian.We have visited many times and had no problem with Languages.Even with my broad Glasgow accent.

Zermatt

The country is an Alpine wonderland that has much to offer us tourists-- The ‘big three’ – Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger are here.
We seen all during our trips. Around 208 mountains, over 3,000 meters high, and 24 of them are over 4,000 meters in height. The highest of these is Monte Rosa at 4,634m, on the Swiss and Italian border.
Which we seen while on the Gornergrat train trip.

Jet d'Eau water fountain Geneva

It is a nature-loving land with two-thirds of the country covered by the Alps. You'll find unspoilt forests wherever you go and pristine lakes in central area, around Lucerne. Head south-west towards Geneva for French-speaking and south for Italian flair. The rest is mainly German-speaking, including Zurich and capital Bern. Everywhere you'll find flower-decked picture-book villages with colourful local traditions.

Lunch in the Alps mountain range. Not a bad place to have a sausage and chips. Now we come to one of the many highlights.
The trains of Switzerland. There are links to my favourite trips.

Switzerland`s most famous three train journeys.
The legendary trains trips are among the finest in the world and the Swiss have perfected making mountains accessible. Their ingenious network of trains, rack railways, trams, and funiculars easily puts you in the midst of the most spectacular glaciers in the Alps and the highest peaks in Europe.
