Beautiful scenery of Switzerland. Unfortunately there is no sound track.

Wow. You don't need a sound track, the beautiful scenery tells a non-verbal story of a beautiful country. If I had the money to visit any country in Europe, Switzerland would be my first choice. I'm afraid if I were to visit there, I would want to live there. I have champagne ideas but I have a beer budget.
Thank you, bcheary.

You are welcome Regis. I have been fortunate to visit Switzerland several times for both business and pleasure in years gone by. Very beautiful and very expensive. :-D

A lot of people know of the beautiful topography, but they may not know about Switzerland's micro climates especially on the south side of this spectacular country where it has a relatively mild climate. So, people can have the best of both worlds in Switzerland.

Thank you. As you can see, I know Switzerland even though I have never been there.

My wife is from Bern Switzerland and she viewed the video. She also knows the French speaking area of Switzerland well where this video was shot and recognized many of the areas shown in the video well. I've made many trips with her to visit my in-laws and can vouch for the beauty of the country. It does rain a lot, so if you're sight seeing, sometimes you can be disappointed with the weather, especially if you going to the high mountains. Thank you for sharing. Here's a few images from Spiez and Lake Thun I thought you might enjoy.

:D

Thank you for you input and sharing your photos. It really is a beautiful country. I have visited it quite a number of times. Skied at St. Moritz and have visited at various times of the year, mostly on business. Unfortunately did not visit Spiez or Lake Thun. My loss judging from your photos. :-D

My wife's family took vacations at Zermatt every winter which lies under the Matterhorn. Her father and younger sister would go snow skiing and her mother and her would go hiking. I've been to Zermatt before and have done some hiking there myself. It's absolutely beautiful.
