Mountains are to Switzerland what potatoes are to Rösti. Switzerland’s awesome mountain landscape has shaped the identity of its inhabitants and entered into world art, literature and music.
The Alps have always been regarded by artists, engineers and scientists as more of an inspiration than an obstacle. They mark the spot where North meets South, stretch through seven countries, are home to eight languages, countless dialects and a thousand valleys. Every year, this natural and cultural wonder attracts more than a hundred million visitors – as the international atmosphere of St. Moritz or Gstaad provides eloquent witness.
