Switzerland has a special magic to it. Enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the people while spending time in the Alps and breathing in the crisp mountain air, allows me to slow down and appreciate the little moments in life.
The glaciers that sculpted Switzerland’s gorgeous valleys and sparkling lakes were Europe’s first great artists. While the scenery is spectacular, the true magic of any Switzerland tour lies in how easily the natural world meshes with the human one. Zurich is as chic as a Swiss watch is dependable, Interlaken is as pretty as the lakes that flank it, and photogenic Lucerne’s cobbled streets feel pulled straight from fairytales.Â
