What Are Switzerland's famous Tourist Attractions and
Activities?

Zermatt

A glam skiing and mountaineering resort tied to the fame of
perhaps the most visually stunning Alp: the Matterhorn
(4478m). the car-free town is best explored on foot, and
there?s a cog railway that will lift you up to Gornergrat
for even more impressive vistas.

Chateau de Chillon

Perched on the shore of Lake Geneva, the most visited
historical building in Switzerland was started in the
eleventh century and has been modified ever since. Dungeons,
courtyards and towers make it a fairy tale castle and
360-degree photo op. not surprisingly, the dreamy home found
its way into the writings of Lord Byron

Zurich

Geneva may have the Rd Cross, but Zurich has had an
explosion of trendy cafes, bars and shops. The Old Town
offers a cultural afternoon of wandering. You don?t need to
open a numbered bank account to visit, but it certainly
helps

Lake Thun

Welcome to Schloss (castle) country. There?s Schloss Thun,
Schloss Oberhofen, and Schloss Hunegg (which mixes in Art
Nouveau renovations). You can visit all three on a one-day
boat trip on Lake Thun and still have time to try the nearby
100-metre bungee jump.

Explore the Frenches Montagnes

If you?re going to head up to the mountains, you may as well
avoid a super high-way of tourist gasping for oxygen. This
range offers fewer visitors, cross-country skiing and gentle
horses. Saignerleiger is a good place to start your
exploring

Munch on fine chocolate

The world famous Lindt chocolate factory is located outside
Zurich and offers an all-you-can-eat tasting treat at the
end of the tour. The factory is a mesh of metal pipes
labeled ?cocoa butter? and ?chocolate?, but you?ll have to
sit through a rather long infomercial about the company
before you?re allowed access to the coco-binge room.

Fly a glider in the Alps

Take advantage of the updraughts with a ride (or lesson) in
glider. Soar over cliffs and ride thermals as high as
they?ll take you (and your pilot). Switzerland is one
country that deserves a bird?s eye view. To find a local
listing of flight centres

Go luging

The most famous luge course in the world is the Cresta Run,
built in St Moritz for the 1884-85 season. It?s now a
private club, but you can try your head at it (you go head
first elephant-style) on the ice track. Traveling 1200m at
90kmph isn?t impressive for a bullet, but it?s not bad for
sledge. For five runs with some instruction, you pay a small
fortune (?285)

Cycle around Switzerland

Nine national cycle routes (3300km in total) crisscross the
country, most of them well away from traffic; route maps and
information in English are available from tourist offices.
Eurotrek can rent you a bike, book hotels along your route
and transport your gear from hotel to hotel. See
Eurotrek.com for tour information
