Matterhorn, Jungfraujoch, Glacier Express, and Swiss perfection
Switzerland is the benchmark against which all mountain destinations are measured — and for good reason. Jungfraujoch at 3,454m is literally the "Top of Europe", the Matterhorn is the world's most photographed mountain, and the Glacier Express is the world's most scenic slow train. Add Lake Geneva, Swiss chocolate, and the Lavaux vineyards for the complete Swiss masterpiece.
Jungfraujoch at 3,454m is Europe's highest railway station — the views of the Aletsch Glacier (23km long) and surrounding Alps from the Sphinx Observatory are incomparable.
The Matterhorn is the world's most photographed mountain — standing at 4,478m in Zermatt's car-free valley, it's even more dramatic in person than in every photo you've ever seen.
Switzerland's reputation for precision extends to its tourism — trains run to the exact minute, hotels are impeccable, food is outstanding, and everything simply works perfectly.
