Why Switzerland
Trains that run like clockwork and lakes the colour of sea glass. Switzerland is the Alps at their most polished — cable cars to thin air, meadows stitched with cowbells, and water so clear it feels rude to swim in. We come for the emerald lakes and the hush above the treeline.
Switzerland is easy to travel and easy to overspend — lean on the trains, pack a picnic, and save the splurge for one unforgettable ridge.
