Switzerland
Switzerland is a small but perfectly formed country that manages to squeeze magnificent mountain vistas, twenty-six cantons (regions), four national languages and one of the most efficient rail networks in the world into it. The rolling hills dotted with wooden chalets, snowy peaks, dramatic waterfalls and mountain fringed lakes of Switzerland are all accessible by train. There's plenty to do in Switzerland — take the famous Glacier Express route from Zermatt to St Moritz, see fields of wild flowers along the Golden Pass or climb up to ‘the top of Europe’ at the continent’s highest station near the peak of the Jungfrau Mountain. Relax in the lakeside destinations of Lucerne, Lugano and Lausanne. Visit the impressive art galleries in Zürich or head into the mountains with a visit to Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland or St Moritz, one of snow sports’ spiritual homes.
