A small landlocked country in central Europe, Switzerland has four official languages with most people also speaking English fluently as a second language. A mountainous country renowned for its world class ski resorts and epic hiking and biking trails, there’s plenty of adventure to be had. During winter head to Graubunden or Bernese Oberland for fun in the snow. As the gorgeous Spring landscapes emerge, try the Swiss National Park and the Trans Swiss Trail in Jura.

Historic cities housing medieval landmarks such as Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne’s wooden chapel bridge are seamlessly meshed with vibrant and contemporary city life. Zurich's main street, Bahnhofstrasse, is home to some of the world’s most expensive and exclusive shopping. Boasting the glittering shores of one of the largest lakes in Europe and verdant green vineyard landscapes, Geneva has take your breath away scenery. Food is hearty and packed with flavour, gooey cheeses and velvet chocolate are national obsessions.
