Switzerland is the country that brought you Heidi, absinthe and LSD. It is also known for its secret bank accounts, fondues, chalets and chocolates, but there is much more depth to the country than this small list would imply. It is a paradise for skiing fans; there are ski resorts like St.Moritz which is popular with celebrities or the more party-orientated Zermatt.

Besides the skiiers paradise, you’ll find small, idyllic villages with little alleys and tiny shops as well as cities that combine the old and the modern, such as Bern or Zurich.
