Switzerland, often heard, stands for watches, cheese and high prices. A stereotype that does not do justice to reality.

This is because, above all, Switzerland has to offer landscape and cultural versatility. Where savvy hikers get their money's worth in the mid-mountain landscape of the Swiss Jura and the Alps wintersport enthusiasts, the most attractive cities in the country are found between Lake Geneva and Lake Constance.
