Matterhorn
Pennine Alps
Straddling the Swiss-Italian border and probably the most well known mountain in the Alps, the Matterhorn and Switzerland are inseparably linked to each other. The pyramid shaped mountain is the sixth highest mountain in the Alps and in Europe, its fame due to its almost impossible shape that makes it said to be the most photographed mountain in the world.
Jungfraujoch
Bernese Alps
Known as “Top of Europe”, Jungfraujoch is the highest train station in Europe at 3,454 meters. It sits in between the mountains Mönch and Jungfrau, and its observatory offers a spectacular 360° view onto the glacier world outside in the Eiger North Face.
Chateau de Chillon
Lake Geneva
Chillon Castle is located on a rock on the banks of Lake Geneva. For nearly four centuries, Chillon was the residence and profitable toll station of the Counts of Savoy. The strategic position and grand view of the alps makes this water castle one of the most visited historic buildings in Switzerland.
