Swiss Alps

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | Switzerland draws travelers from around the world for its legendary mountains. From the Matterhorn to the Jungfrau to Appenzell, we savor both the country’s jaw-dropping alpine beauty and the rich and resilient culture of its people. As we lace together that dramatic mountain wonder with scenic train rides, breathtaking lifts, and unforgettable hikes, we also enjoy alpine life — from exploring glaciers to making cheese the old-fashioned way. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #swissalps Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
