Chocolate, watches, trains that run on time, fondue, the Matterhorn, Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals, cutting edge modern art, festivals for everything including cow fighting, glaciers, the Swiss army knife, medieval castles and covered bridges, celebrity-studded resorts, wellness spas, vibrant nightlife in cities such as Zurich and Davos, and get-away-from-it-all solitude in Schwyz, where the world's oldest democracy got its start in 1291. Raft a river, visit the St. Bernard Pass and its new museum to the famous dogs in Martigny, hike the Aletch Glacier, largest in the Alps, see an edelweiss flower in its natural habitat, bike more than 2,000 miles of interconnected national cycling routes, sample reds and whites at a vineyard. Switzerland has it all, and all with grand scenic panoramas of snow-capped peaks. Buy a Swiss Museum Pass for free entry to hundreds of exhibits, and a Swiss Rail Pass to get around.
