Nestled in Central Europe, the landlocked country of Switzerland, with a population of about 8.54 million and diverse ethnic groups, has for decades attracted people from around the world.

Its magnificence and alpine landscape paint a marvelous picture for travelers in pursuit of vast expanses of uninterrupted natural beauty. Surrounded by Germany, France and Italy, this country is an amalgamation of exotic and endemic cultures. It proudly hosts 13 UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are integral to the Swiss identity and form the country's legacy. 

​

The serene landscapes give the country its sought-after romantic character and few can evade the temptation of its distinguished chocolates and cheese. Here are 5 absolute inescapable reasons why the little Alpine country must be your next holiday harbor.

​

1. Mountains & Meadows : Far-reaching expanses of meadows, flecked with the quintessential bell-clad cows and an occasional countryman playing the alpine horn. The thrill of the funicular trains that take you atop ice-capped mountains with breathtaking views of clouds that levitate.

​

2. Waterfalls & Valleys : The country is home to some of the world’s most impressive falls, accessible by trains, cable cars and even elevators! The ravishing valleys that slope from the massifs of the alps and spread out open-mouthed into small villages and towns will leave you charmed.

​

3. Lakes : The serene and anchored waters of the lake remain unmatched as they change lives every season – a teeth chattering tranquil in winters, a hazy cool in autumn, an elegant blossom in spring and a frenzied hub in summers!

​

4. Culture & Fests : One is often mistaken that Switzerland is mono-cultural. On the contrary, the country has 4 official languages and each with its own set of inherent and borrowed cultures and traditions. The Kantons (administrative sub-divisions, much like states) host a plethora of fests & street parades that remain unparalleled in their joie de vivre.

​

5. Cheese, Wine, Chocolate :  Switzerland is home to more than 450 varieties of endemic cheese that vary in taste, texture, colour, viscosity, density and smell. It is one of the largest chocolate producers and has THE highest per capita chocolate consumption in the world! With around 240 grape varieties cultivated here, it is also a noted place for some of the world’s finest wines.
