Historic sites and enchanting countryside abound, from the monument to William Tell to commanding mountain peaks, from cities to remote Alpine valleys, from baroque monasteries to deserted canyons. Surfers brave wind and waves, lake steamers leave majestic wakes, colourful paragliders dot the sky. Mountain trains and suspended cable cars mount the peaks. This is Central Switzerland, the Switzerland of freedom and holidays.
Who wouldn't like to try it? Skiing and snowboarding on well-prepared pistes, runs in powder snow leaving white rooster trails in your wake, cross-country skiing against a romantic mountain background, going for walks in fascinating countryside, visiting cosy inns in rustic mountain villages and world-famous monastery churches plus special treats such as Lucerne's Chapel Bridge just about sum up winter in Central Switzerland - a holiday that leaves no wish unfulfilled. |
