time memorial, Switzerland has
proved itself as one of the
most cherished tourist
destinations. Every part of
this country seems to be
caressed and lying in the lap
of nature. The land of magical
Alps Mountains, Lake Maggiore
and the home of cities like
Zurich and Bern need no
introduction.

Cities

cities on earth-Zurich. This
metropoplis is a significant

The Chapel Bridge that
If you are stunned with the
popularity and status of
‘bears’, you have stepped
in the metropolis Bern. Bern

the capital of Switzerland and
is nestled in a curve in the
River Aare. The ancient exotic
fountains, the majestic

bedecked by three mountains
namely Jungfrau, Monch and the
Eiger. The spectacular

eyes from it. To elate your
spirits the Trummelbach Falls

viewed via an elevator built
in the rock and the Staubbach

the city of Lausanne. The town
of Klosters is swarming with
visitors for its fantastic ski
resort that too is known as
Klosters. Skiing can also be
