SWITZERLAND – ‘PASSPORT TO EUROPE’ GETAWAY
Legendary for its political neutrality;
Switzerland is a small country tucked
away in the Alps bordered by France, Italy, Austria and Germany. It has a
spectacularly scenic landscape of mountains, lakes and lush farmland. The
Alps
occupy the central and southern parts of the country and the
Jura Mountains
border France in the north-east, whilst the central region
consists of a plateau with rolling hills and vast lakes. Switzerland is
famed for amongst other things its
delectable chocolate,
characteristic cheese,
cuckoo clocks
and the Swiss army knife.
Switzerland is a country which certainly belies its size in terms of variety,
charms and class.
