Though Switzerland boasts the most peaks in Europe, thanks to the majestic Swiss Alps, it's not just all mountain tops. The country is also home to some of the most beautiful lakes that offer a wide range of activities from swimming and boating to relaxing on the shore. The location in the middle of Europe, fine weather, great food and ease of travel makes Switzerland one of the most sought-after countries in Europe. myswitzerland.com
