Switzerland's appeal as a top travel and holiday destination is easy to explain. For a relatively small and compact country, it offers such a remarkable range of leisure-and-pleasure attractions and everything for your vacation. Because of its scenic and climatic diversity, glaciers and snow-capped summits are never far from picturesque lakes and palm-trees. And there are so many ways of discovering the delights of Switzerland. Sports activities have long played an important part in our tourism success story. In winter, the Alpine regions are a "must" for skiers (both downhill and cross-country), snowboarders and sledging enthusiasts. In summer canoeing, sailing, mountain climbing, Nordic walking, golf and swimming are just a few of the many attractions. Switzerland is also renowned for its multi-lingual make-up, timeless traditions and customs. Our cities offer a wealth of captivating culture.
