Welcome to Switzerland

Welcome to Switzerland

In addition to chocolate, cuckoo clocks and Tyrolean singing, Switzerland today, a country with four languages, offers unique trips, alpine activities and urban culture.

Switzerland is an altarpiece of beautiful images and postcards of colossal proportions that seduce travelers from the Grand Tour and the dawn of winter tourism in 1930. From the chinchín of the famous ones that alternate in Verbier champagne in hand to the tinkling of cowbells the black cows of the Val d'Hérens, Switzerland mixes the rural and the urban with astonishing ease, grace and precision. Traveling on a red train between peaks and pines, swimming in a mountain resort, snowshoeing to the igloo or crossing medieval bridges; This postcard country never seems to ruffle.
