Incredible skiing on the Swiss Alps and delicious chocolate are not the only reasons for visiting Switzerland. The train rides through the beauty of lakes, mountains, villages, and valleys; tasting wine in the cellars of a historical castle where time seems to have stopped in the Lavaux area by Lake Geneva; getting up in the morning to admire the Matterhorn turning pink and gold during sunrise; meeting locals while enjoying a festival.These are the other reasons to come and visit what I call the "Real Switzerland."
