Switzerland – Interlaken, Zurich, St. Moritz and
Geneva
by: Rick Chapo
Switzerland is the land of skiing, chocolate and very
private banking. Ah, but there is so much more to
experience in the land of neutrality.
Interlaken
Interlaken gets its highly creative name from sitting on
the split of land between two lakes. If you’re looking for
a little extreme sporting, this is place. You can
backpack, horseback ride, parasail and so on. To
really take in the majesty of the alps, I highly
recommend you cough up the money for a go at
skydiving. You may have gone ski diving before, but I
guarantee you nothing compares to free falling down
through the mountains of Switzerland. This is how God
must feel looking down at the earth. While God gets the
view for free, you will have to pay…a lot. Still, the view
and experience is something you will never forget.
Zurich
Zurich is the cleanest city in Switzerland, Europe and
maybe the world. There place simply sparkles. Various
guide books challenge readers to find a cigarette butt
or piece of trash on the sparkling streets. Personally, I
find the cleanliness of the city a bit of a negative. Stop
rolling your eyes. The place is simply so clean that it
seems to lack any real character. One keeps getting
the feeling you are walking around a Disneyland Park.
The budget traveler should be aware that Zurich is
more expensive than even Disneyland.
St. Moritz
If you’re looking for the arrogant rich, over the top luxury
and incredibly expensive prices, St. Moritz is for you.
Not really my crowd, so on to the next city…
Geneva
Geneva is not “just another” clean city in Switzerland.
Okay, it looks like it at first and second glance, but the
third glance may prove a delight. With cobble stone
streets, the city reminds one of the stereotypical Swiss
images in the media. In reality, Geneva has a bustling
underground of live music, art and general fun. Four
aspirin and two bottles of water later, I can certainly
attest to it. The only way to let your hair down in Geneva
is to buddy up to a local and follow their lead. Trust me,
you’ll have a blast.
Switzerland often seems a bit too good to be true.
Perhaps it truly is a mountain mirage. Guess you’ll just
have to visit to do your own investigation!
