Switzerland, one of the most amazingly beautiful countries in the world, after longing to visit for many years, between us we have been lucky enough to visit three time this year! OK, so it might be a little on the expensive side that’s true, but for once in a lifetime views like this you occasionally have to let yourself go! Here are 39 photos which will make you book that plane ticket over there!! (And hey, there’s plenty you can do on a budget over there too!)
This year we have visited between us Basel, Lucerne, Interlaken and the surrounding Jungfrau region. What a treat is has been to explore this beautiful, cultured and adventurous land. Switzerland has jumped the queue to become one of our all time favourite destinations and may even be a contender for the place we would like to settle down in eventually after travelling the world! With so much to see and do from mountains to paragliding, white water rafting to relaxing boat trips, we look forward to visiting again and seeing more of this stunning country. Here are some of our favourite photos from our recent trips!
Prepare to be inspired!!
