As one of the most highly developed and wealthiest countries in the world, Switzerland has long attracted foreigners who move here to live and work.
As well as breathtaking mountain scenery, unique cultural traditions and a thoroughly modern infrastructure, the country also boasts some of the finest locations for outdoor pursuits in Europe.
Although Switzerland has four official languages, German is the most widely spoken so learning some of these basic words and phrases is highly recommended before you leave home.
In fact, at nearly 25% of the population, Switzerland has one of the highest proportions of foreign residents in the world.
The Alpine environment is perfect for hiking, climbing and cycling in the warmer months, while skiing and snowboarding are unsurprisingly popular during the winter.
