SWITZERLAND TRAVEL GUIDE

DESTINATION FACTS

LANGUAGES

Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansh

WHAT TO EAT

Lots of cheese (Vacherin, Appenzeller, Sbrinz, Emmentaler, etc.), chocolate, fondue and dishes influenced by the country’s neighbours (France, Italy and Germany).

WHAT TO BRING BACK

Swiss cuckoo clocks, Swiss chocolate (Toblerone, anybody?), a decorative cow bell (the sound of the Alps) and stylish ski gear.

FUN FACT

The sounds of Switzerland are legendary, defined by romantic mountain folk music comprised of accordion tunes, a strange wooden instrument called the alphorn (kind of like a Swiss didgeridoo) and, of course, yodelling. The unique singing style started as a way for shepherds to summon their herds and to call out to neighbouring villages.
