Switzerland is one of Europe's most visited countries.
Sights are breathtaking, transport links are excellent,
costs are no higher than in Britain or Germany, and the
locals are unfailingly courteous. Almost everyone speaks
some English along with at least one of the official Swiss
languages - German, French or Italian.
As for where to go, the country's breathtaking scenery
has drawn travelers since the early 1800s. The most
visited Alpine area is the central Bernese Oberland,
which has the highest concentration of picturesque peaks
and mountainside villages, although the loftiest Alps
are further south, where the small but crowded resort
of Zermatt provides access to the country's most
distinctive mountain, the Toblerone-peaked Matterhorn.
In the southeastern corner of the country, the isolated
mountain valleys of Graubünden provide the
setting for the world-famous resorts of St Moritz
and Davos.
