Switzerland, Winter Wonderland
Winter is the probably the most picturesque times of the year to be in Europe, as for me, especially in Switzerland. Most of its territory are snow-covered and lit brightly for the trip. It’s like living in some fancy fairy tale!
Known as a winter sports paradise (just look at those glistening white 4000m-plus Alpine peaks), Switzerland is where people first skied for fun. Illustrious names evoke all the romance and glamorous drama of the mountain high life: Zermatt, St Moritz, Interlaken, Gstaad, the Jungfrau, Verbier and more. Cities like Geneva (the most cosmopolitan), Zürich (the most outrageous), Basel and Lausanne heave with heady artistic activity and sometimes incendiary nightlife.
The grandeur of the finest churches, such as the cathedrals in Lausanne and Bern, contrasts with sparkling but lesser-known treasures like the frescoes of Müstair or the abbey complex of St Gallen (both World Heritage sites).The list of enchanting towns is endless: from Lucerne with its covered bridge to Neuchâtel and its fountains; from Gruyères with its cheese, and Grimentz with its traditional timber houses to the sgraffito-blazoned buildings of Engadine towns like Scuol and Zuoz.
Whether visiting the remotest Ticino villages or sampling the finest of Valais wines, you’ll find Switzerland a chocolate box bursting with unexpected flavours. And its also a fabulous place for the children in winter time, there’re endless games and adventures. So, What are you waiting for? Get packed and roll your way to this winter wonderland–Switzerland! And don’t forget bring me photoes!
