Look beyond the chocoloate, cuckoo clocks and yodelling
β contemporary Switzerland, land of four languages, is all about
once-in-a-lifetime journeys, heart-racing Alpine pursuits and urban
culture. Switzerland's ravishing landscapes demand immediate action β
grab boots, leap on board, toot bike bell and
let spirits rip.
Skiing and snowboarding in GraubΓΌnden, Bernese Oberland and Central
Switzerland are winter choices. When pastures turn green, hiking and
biking trails abound in glacier-encrusted mountain areas and lower down
along lost valleys, glittering lake shores and pea-green vineyards.
View the grandeur from a hot-air balloon or parachute, or afloat a
white-water raft. Then there's those must-do-before-death experiences
like encountering Eiger's chiselled north face up close or reaching
crevassed ice on Jungfraujoch. Most extraordinary of all, you donβt need
to be a mountaineer to do it.
