  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2002 | If Heidi is alive, she's in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike, bike, blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe's highest railway up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and oh-wow views. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #swissalps

    In 1971 I was touring around Switzerland in a Tanus Camper Van. We stopped for lunch at a Road overlook. We just began lunch when there was a rumbling behind us up the mountain. A cannon soon appeared & fired a shot high up into the mountains to start a small avalanche. Quite a surprise!

Out of the more than 30 countries that I have visited, I could say that Switzerland has beautiful countryside and is still the best country for me. I wish I could live there.

    It amazes me how honest the Swiss are. I went there during the summer once and there was a field of all kinds of flowers and plants for sale where you can hand pick the ones you want and there was a tiny shack up front with nothing but a list of prices and a bowl with money in it. The shack isn't even manned, nor is the field fenced or supervised. People pick their flowers and literally pay at their own integrity.

      I have been traveling to Switzerland for over twenty years for work. The amount of English spoke is a blessing for an American. I have a little French, enough for train tickets, food, etc, and just the common courtesy words in German/Swiss German but have always been able to get bye. Not everyone speaks English, particularly in the older generations, but almost all young people do and when they say "a little" it is simply them saying it is not their primary or strongest language.
