Switzerland has its varied experience to offer in every season . The summer offers a lot of exciting outdoor including bungee jumping,paragliding to different kinds of hiking escapade. I No wonder why this country of mountains has over 60000 km of signposted hiking trails. However , if you are not someone who doesn’t like hiking or cannot do it for health reasons, you can still enjoy the green matand crystal clear lake view from top of the mountain climbing up through various means like Cogwheel train or cable car.
Soon comes winter when snow hits the mountains and the lively summer grounds turn into top winter destinations . Skiing is the most common winter sport in Switzerland. The ice cold mornings doesn’t hold them from staying back home ,instead they wait for snow and go on winter holidays. The snow covered mountain tops are refreshing and blissfully beautiful.
Rhine river , one of the major river in Europe ,originates in Swiss Alps as a small stream gathers it’s volume while it reaches lake Constance. Later flows over the Rhine falls in Schaffhausen, the largest water fall in Europe and continues its ways to North sea through the industrial town of Basel in Switzerland . It’s a varied experience to offer.
