amazing natural beauty with lakes, 2 mountain ranges (Jura and the Alps), many historical monuments and some of the cleanest cities in the world

Valais : a long, narrow, L-shaped valley which was cut by glaciers between two alpine mountain ranges

Graubünden (Romansch: Grischun, Italian: Grigioni) is a mountainous canton, from maps one can see that it is dominated by the Engadine and Rhein valleys



Lake Geneva, known in French as Lac Léman, is one of the largest lakes in western Europe. It lies on the course of the Rhone river on the frontier between France and Switzerland.



hosting the European headquarters of the UN as well as the headquarters of the WTO and many other international agencies

The Swiss invented and use condoms so thick they can't feel anything. When the Swiss are not having sex - which is not often - they use their condoms as rain hats.
