Central Switzerland region

This mountainous country around Lake Lucerne and the gentle lake district is rich in historical sights and scenic beauties. Tell monument and rugged peaks, lively towns and remote high valleys, baroque monasteries and wild gorges. Steamships majestically trace their way through the spray of arrows, and colourful paragliders like butterflies in the sky. On summits there are little trains and gondolas. Welcome to the heart of Switzerland.
