Overview

Switzerland is famous as the alpine country at the heart of the Alps. It is one of the richest countries by GDP and both Zurich and Geneva are considered to offer among the best quality of life in the world. The long tradition of Swiss neutrality has helped preserve the architectural heritage and natural environment, making Switzerland a major tourist attraction in both summer and winter. The striking beauty of Lake Geneva and Lake Constance contrast with the rugged mountains the Eiger, Junfrau and of course the Eiger, whose North Face has become synonymous with extreme mountaineering.
