Top 10 list - Natural beauty (#5)

Switzerland’s natural beauty is a powerful incentive for two of the other items on the list, cleanliness and hiking trails.  The entire country is so pretty that only ISIS would disturb it and hiking provides the best means to experience it all.   Of course there’s much more to see than the bucket list spots.  For every famous natural feature like the Matterhorn or Jungfraujoch, there are fifty lesser known gems like the Stoos ridge hike, the Oeschinensee  or Val Müstair.   And while the mountains are the symbol of Switzerland’s beauty,  the lakes are breathtakingly gorgeous and the cities and towns are charmingly lovely.   You’re never far from something worth viewing.  Hell, we walk Ellie in the area behind our home and it’s simply beautiful (picture below).   It’s one concentrated package of natural splendor squeezed into a country about twice the size of New Jersey.
