Its mountain ranges are perfect – and accessible to all

Mountain ranges in Switzerland are perfect and accessible to all. It should come as no surprise that a country with possibly the most reliable transportation infrastructure in the world also makes it relatively easy for travelers to access some of the most magnificent mountain views in the world. From the Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway in Interlaken, to the world's highest cable car station in Zermatt, all you need is time to enjoy stunning views. "Knowing when to go is critical," says Swiss Tourism. The optimum time to climb any mountain is early in the day, preferably around mid-morning, before clouds accumulate and hinder vistas." And in Switzerland, you're spoiled for choice. Over 200 mountains rise beyond 3,000 meters, with 24 above 4,000 meters.
