Switzerland – the fairest of them all
The sheer majesty and awe-inspiring beauty of the Swiss Alps cannot be overstated, and it is no wonder that travellers have been drawn here for centuries to marvel at the likes of the Matterhorn and Eiger, both of which tower over 4,000 metres into the sky.
As well as being one of the world’s best places to walk – with fresh mountain air, precise waymarking and tasty, replenishing cuisine – Switzerland is also a perfect winter destination as well as a wonderful country to explore by rail. Not only is the Swiss transport system highly efficient, but, thanks to some incredible feats of engineering, the trains are able to travel easily through some of the planet’s most unforgiving terrain, affording truly incredible views.
