With spring and summer just around the corner, there are many wonderful Swiss destinations getting ready for the next season of tourism. Although Switzerland is famous for the Alps, skiing and snowboarding, the country is also blessed with spectacular lakes. Lake Zurich is right in the center of the city and boat trips, river buses and cruise ships take tourists out to various stops along the Promenade, a 3 km long trail leading around the lake. Further inland though, is where the most beautiful lakes are located.

Lake Hallwil at Beinwil am See in the village of Meisterschwanden is a magical lake complete with medieval castle, rolling hills and a wonderful valley for hiking, cycling and relaxation. The region is located by Lucerne, just a few hours drive from Zurich.

Waterfalls rank as some of the most spectacular sights in nature and Switzerland has its very own natural spectacle to offer! The Rhine Falls at Neuhausen am Rheinfall cover some 150 meters in width. Several hundred cubic meters of ice melt and river water rush down into the gorge at 23 meters per second – a deafening roar accompanies this most amazing sight!
