Switzerland

[Warthog]

Yup, I am off on holiday there for the next two weeks (sadly as a family, not on my bike).

So who has been there, and what is a must-see?

[Peter Henry]

Few biggish hills and loads of toblerone. Give it a miss mate. Oh and the odd cheesey clock with a bird in it.

Get yerself off to Skegness at a fraction of the price. :wink:

HTH.

Well you have to drink the wheat beer even if just for it laxative properties.

The trains are good when they appologise in half a dozen languages for being 2 minutes late leaving a station

Lake Geneva if the water fountain is on is loverly. Lucerene has a statue of Freddy Murcury by the water.
The whole place is loverly if youve never been.

Spidey..but apart from being luvverly...whaht else has it to offer? Nothing I can see that couldn't be matched by full board in Mablethorpe!

Spiez is absolutely gorgeous place.

When I went there we checked into a hotel [reasonably priced for Switzerland too] to watch a mega storm over lake, mountains and forest :D

was there last year (http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=27593&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=switzerland) and the place is so breathtaking and incredibly clean. we only did some of the passes in the alps. wish we were there longer.

Oh man, you really make me wish I was going with my bike!! That glacier looks awesome, I shall have to check it out. And also plan a bike trip there after my family hols :D

Do the railway that goes up inside the north face of the Eiger, I think it's called something like Jungfraujoch - amazing to look out of the window on the northwall, with a 6,000 ft+ almost sheer drop and see climbers making their way up it

Otherwise it's bloody expensive :shock:

went skiing in crans montana but it was 25 years ago so cant remember much. nice chocolate :lol:

My ex lived in Zurich and we did a lot of driving around Luzern & Interlaken. Swiss scenery is just breath-taking. Shame you're not taking the bike. Swiss are not that cool except down the Italian parts. Same goes for the food.

bex salt mines are reasonable in my opinion

if your lucky they'll show you all the gold they got in WW2... Its the most crooked country in the world, but,because their consciences play havoc with them, they stick to every other law like glue and make it a beautifully perfect place to go...

Don't forget the little red pne knives
And the fact that all men have to have a gun in the house, so if someone invites you round, don't p*ss them off.

Great beaches though I believe. 8)
