Switzerland Is a Alpine country in Central Europe with a strong economy in finance and banking borders Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Historically The Swiss Confederation secured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire in 1499. Switzerland's sovereignty and neutrality have long been established, the European powers, and the country was not involved in either of the two World Wars.

Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations has strengthened Switzerland's ties with its neighbours. In 2002 Switzerland officially becomes part of the UN. Switzerland remains active in many UN and international organizations, but retains a strong commitment to neutrality. Here you can find sight of a spectacular mountain panorama and the fragrance of an Alpine meadow you can refresh in a dip in a natural pool the people of Switzerland still drive the cattle up to the mountain pasture so you can watch a bout or two of traditional Swiss wrestling or a visit to an Alpine dairy  these are just a few of the authentic and unforgettable experiences to be had here.  In the winter you can find Snow-reliable Mountains, slopes galore, winter hiking through fairytale landscapes, and resorts packed with character. The influences of German, French and Italian has formed an ancient coexistence of customs and culture whose present manifestations marvel the traveller none that can be found any were else in the world.

Switzerland is home to some great ski resorts. For sheer charm and spectacular scenery, the 'traffic-free' villages of Wengen, Miirren, Saas Fee and Zermatt take some beating. Many resorts have impressive ski areas too - including some of the biggest, highest and toughest skiing in the Alps.

Downhill skiing in its modern form was invented in Wengen and Miirren, which were persuaded to open their summer railways in winter to take their British guests up the mountain to ski. Switzerland is the home of the traditional mountain village which has transformed itself from farming community into year-round holiday resort. Many of Switzerland's most famous ski resorts are as popular in the summer as in the winter, or more so. This creates resorts with a much more lived-in feel to them and a much more stable local community. Many of the resorts are still run and dominated by a handful of families who were lucky or shrewd enough to get involved in the early development of the resorts. The trains run like clockwork to the advertised timetable (and often they run to the top of the mountain, doubling up as a ski-lift). The food is almost universally of good quality, and much less stodgy than in neighbouring Austria. Although it is expensive, there are fashionable resorts in France.
