the favorite for winter visitors. Switzerland remains one of the most
beautiful countries in the world. The views are spectacular and the
ambiance unique. The various major cities of Bern, Basel, Luzern, and
Geneva, to name a few, are still within driving distance hours in any
direction .The four official languages of Switzerland are German. French,
Italian and Romanch. English, however, remains widely spoken throughout.
Switzerland is not part of the EU community, and therefore has retained
it Swiss Franc as the official currency.
