LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION
Getting Started
Untitled Document
With everything from soaring Alpine peaks in Zermatt to cavernous late-night dance clubs in Zürich, Switzerland offers a kaleidoscopic palette of options in a very small space. Whether you want to explore hidden jewels of medieval art in distant villages or the cutting edge of modern architecture in the humming cities, there is plenty of choice for the art buff. What other country offers at least three types of completely different national cuisine? You could set yourself a gastronomical route full of surprises. For the more energetic, the range of scenery and outdoor activities is almost unlimited. From cow-fighting to curling, hiking to hang-gliding, there is barely a sport that isn’t catered for.
