Planning on visiting Switzerland this year? Here s my view on the must see attractions whether you are planning a long weekend or few months travelling around;
1) Skiing at Zermatt
Zermatt is one of the most prestigious ski resorts in the Swiss Alps. People also come here in droves for high quality mountaineering. Located in the south of Switzerland near to the Matterhorn Rockies Jonathan Lucroy Jersey , Zermatt is a beautiful resort which has picturesque old wooden buildings in typical Swiss style. Tourists pay a lot of money to go skiing here but you can get cheap car hire Switzerland skiing packages which include your winter tyres and equipment racks. You will need a four by four vehicle to attempt going up the steep Pennine Alps.
2) More skiing at Davos
Davos is Switzerland s largest ski resort and also the highest city in Europe. There are more than enough chair lifts and ski facilities to keep everyone happy as well as a thriving apres ski scene.
3) Bar hopping in Zurich
Zurich is a surprisingly lively city for those who come here with preconceptions of the boring Swiss. You can find almost any type of music including hip hop, rock, dub and funk in an array of well decorated and stylish bars and nightclubs. Amazingly Zurich has more clubs than any other city of its size in Europe. The Zuritipp is an online event calendar which can fill you in on all the latest gigs and performances which are taking place. District five of Zurich West is the where most of the clubs can be found. If you want a light snack to keep you going while you drink then have some of the famous Swiss fondue in any of these bars.
4) Get a great view at Lake Geneva.
Take the T?l?ph?rique du Sal?ve for simply stunning views across Lake Geneva and the mountains beyond. This cable cars leads to miles of walking trails and a local association, the association Genevoise des Amis du Sal?ve Rockies Jon Gray Jersey , organises hikes for anyone who is interested.
5) Go to carnival in Switzerland s third city, Basel.
Basel is not only a gorgeous medieval town but it has a fantastic carnival. Why not rent a costume and join the locals as they celebrate? For those who want more moderate pastimes there are several fine art museums in Basel which is a highly cultured city.
6) Visit the capital Berne for a meal out.
Few people know that Berne is the capital of Switzerland and even fewer know how many good restaurants it has. Although it is expensive you can get fantastic Swiss as well as international cuisine.
7) Swim in Lake Zurich
One of Europe s purest and freshest lakes, this is an ideal place to swim or go sailing during the summer. You will be among hundreds of Swiss families who take the time to enjoy the alpine delights. Coupled with a picnic or barbecue the experience is truly unforgettable.
8) Head for the world famous ski slopes in Valais by visiting Lausanne.
Knowing a little French in Lausanne will get you a long way and as long as you book your ski passes and car hire ahead of time you are sure to enjoy yourself. Lausanne has a large student population and an accordingly thriving nightlife.
9) Practice your Italian for a visit to Lugano
Lugano is the main Italian speaking part of Switzerland and is as pretty as anywhere else in the country. Set around a dazzling lake there are magnificent buildings and even palm trees to marvel at. Lugano is also close to Lake Como.
10) And finally more skiing at St Moritz
Experience the charm of Switzerland s oldest ski resort. St Moritz is popular with skiers from all over Europe, not least because it has sunshine on almost every day of the year coupled with great powder. Hebei North University Library
