The Alps occupy a massive two
thirds of Switzerland and it doesn’t matter where you travel as you
will always be surrounded by pictures views.
Sharing its borders with a number of surrounding countries Switzerland is an international cross road which makes it ideal for exploration in any direction, weather this is by rail, Lake Steamer or car.
Switzerland stretches from Lake Constance in the north to the more Mediterranean Ticino region to the south. The east stretches to the Graubunden and to the west is the famous Lake Geneva.
Geneva, or the city on the lake as some say shares its border with France and attracts somewhat cosmopolitan visitors. Lake Geneva offers opportunities to sail across its border, by yourself no less, or if you would prefer you can board the Montreux which is a steam powered boat that was build in 1904. There are sailing tours daily and is a must if you get the opportunity. The largest paddle steamer fleet however resides on Lake Lucerne.

If you travel further north you
will come across Lake Neuchatâtel which is the largest lake that is
bordered by Switzerland along all sides.
It is home to the unusual underground mills of Col-desRoches and like most places in Switzerland the mixture of old and new can be seen in the Neuchatâtel Museum of Archaeology.
Switzerland shares a number of lakes with its surrounding neighbours such as Lake Constance and Lake Maggiore. The must see botanical garden resides on Brissago Island which is on the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore.
The shores of Lake Constance offer amazing views of the orchards that rise to meet the foothills of the Alps.

The mountains of the Alps are matchless, and
for centuries it has lured large populations to its valleys. With
the surrounding snow capped mountains in constant view it is no
surprise that the past time of Switzerland is hiking. Every village
you pass is posted with yellow signs indicating hiking paths in
every direction.
Depending on your energy levels and your interests you can choose anything from a leisurely lake shore stroll to a multi-day mountain ridge hike. As if that wasn’t adventurous enough you can even try a glacier tour.
So you can see it doesn’t matter what you preference is, this relatively small country is packed with natural beauty that makes your visit impossible to go wrong.
