Hi welcome to WatchMojo.com I am Christine and today we're continue our travel series with a look1 at Switzerland
One of the most1 beautiful countries in the world, Switzerland, has been the dream1 destination for many tourists for decades1.
With a population of approximately 7.5 million, it is situated in central Europe, east of France, north of Italy with an area1 of almost sixty thousand <acronym title=miles carrés">square miles</acronym>, it is a relatively small and mountainous1 country.
The capital1 city1 of Switzerland is Bern <acronym title="tandis que">while</acronym> its two economic centers are Geneva and Zurich. At anytime, as you travel around the country, you’ll <acronym title="rencontrer">hit</acronym> many different climatic conditions. The continental climate1 in the Alps tends1 to show the greatest extremes between summer and winter. Mid-August to late October generally has fairly settled weather1 and it is a good period1 for <acronym title="randonnées">hiking trips</acronym>.
Higher1 elevation causes lower1 temperatures1 and because its mountainous character, it is not uncommon to move from cold and rainy weather to a warm1 clear day in just a few minutes. Freezing1 temperatures usually <acronym title="se produuire">occur</acronym> between December and early1 March, <acronym title="bien que">although</acronym> the temperature rarely fall down below forty-one degrees Fahrenheit.
Switzerland is a truly unique1 adventure playground1 for all those who want more than just the seaside. It is <acronym title="se_compose">made up of</acronym> three basic topographical areas : the Swiss Alps, the Swiss plateau and the Jura mountains. The Alps comprise <acronym title="à peu près">roughly</acronym> sixty percent1 of the country's total area making it the second most alpine country after Austria1.
Hotels and tourist facilities1 started to be built mid century. The glacier express1 takes travellers to the Alps by train and journeys from Saint Moritz to the ski resort Zermatt.
Sports are an integral1 part of Switzerland’s national life. <acronym title="pertinemment">Fittingly</acronym> for a country made up largely1 a tall mountains, Switzerland abounds1 in <acronym title="lieux">venues</acronym> for winter sports. The country <acronym title="peut se vanter de">boasts</acronym> dozens of major <acronym title="stations de ski">ski resorts</acronym> and has an extensive system of marked <acronym title="ski de fond">cross-country</acronym> ski trails.
Swiss athletes1 have performed with excellence at every level of winter sports competition and notably at the winter Olympic games.
Switzerland has something special1 for you, <acronym title="si">whether</acronym> your idea the perfectly vacation is hiking1 in a world of <acronym title="à couper le souffle">breathtaking</acronym> <acronym title="panoramas">vistas</acronym> or <acronym title="vous faire plaisir">pampering</acronym> yourself in a <acronym title="grand luxe">lap of luxury</acronym>.
Switzerland maybe neutral but it's certainly not <acronym title="fade, sans saveur">flavourless</acronym>.
