Interlaken is a small city in the Bernese Highlands Region of central Switzerland. Located between two Alpine Lakes (Brienz and Thun), Interlaken is a popular base camp for outdoor sports and travel in the surrounding Bernese Oberland Alps. Interlaken itself is a superb holiday destination.
Standing in Interlaken's large central park, gazing at the Jungfrau massif in the distance, it's possible to sense the romance of a place that first attracted early package tourists in the 19th century. But the view the Victorians swooned over is these days regularly interrupted by paragliders coming in to land - as this attractively mountain-ringed town has become one of the world's top adventure-sports destinations.

Jungfraujoch (el. 3471 m.) is a col or saddle between the Mönch and the Jungfrau in the Bernese Alps on the boundary between the cantons of Bern and Valais.The Jungfraujoch is often called the "Top of Europe".
Not far east of the Joch rises a peak called the Sphinx, which tops out at an elevation of 3,571 metres. It begins from the Jungfraujoch on the Valais side and at the Great Aletsch Glacier. There is an elevator to the summit of the Sphinx, where a small viewing platform and a scientific observatory, the Sphinx Observatory, are located.The Jungfraujoch is also home to one of the Global Atmosphere Watch’s atmospheric research stations. The Jungfraujoch can only be accessed through a 7.3 km long cog railway tunnel from Interlaken.

Zermatt is famed as a mountaineering and ski resort. Until the mid-19th century, it was predominantly an agricultural community — its name, as well as that of the Matterhorn itself, derives from the alpine meadows, or matten, in the valley. In the German language, the town is "Zur Matte", or "in the meadow."

The Matterhorn, is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps. It is considered as an iconic emblem of the region of the Swiss Alps.

Travel on the famous Swiss mountain railway “Glacier Express” through the Alps from Zermatt to Andermatt. On the railway journey you will cross numerous bridges, pass through tunnels and cross the Oberalp Pass which is 2’033 metres in altitude. Travel in comfort through the unspoilt natural beauty of a landscape rich in ancient, peaceful mountain forests, fragrant alpine meadows, rushing mountain streams and mountain valleys, soaked in tradition and centuries-old culture.

Legend has it that an angel with a light showed Lucerne's first settlers where to build a chapel, and in good weather even an atheist might describe the city's location as heaven-sent. Lapped by a scenic lake, surrounded by mountains of myth - a picture of this once small fishing village and its wooden Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) is enough to connote the very essence of Switzerland.
Between the 13th and 19th centuries, Lucerne (Luzern in German, or 'the city of lights') made its fortune as an essential stop on the trade route over the Alps. Then its charming medieval centre and its fabulous position began attracting tourists. It's never looked back.

The Rhine Falls are the largest plain waterfalls in Europe
Tourists have been awed by the Rhine Falls for centuries. In the 19th century, the painter J. M. W. Turner made several studies and larger paintings of the falls, and the lyrical poet Eduard Mörike wrote of the falls:
Halte dein Herz, o Wanderer, fest in gewaltigen Händen! Mir entstürzte vor Lust zitternd das meinige fast. Rastlos donnernde Massen auf donnernde Massen geworfen, Ohr und Auge, wohin retten sie sich im Tumult?
(Hold your heart, oh traveller, tightly in mighty hands! Mine nearly descended, shivering with pleasure. Restless thundering masses thrown upon masses, ear and eye, whither can they save themselves in such an uproar?)
